The Third Bloom - Hidden Blooms, #3

Danya is teaching Kei about all sorts of Merrow lore and local gossip. Things are going great! He loves feeling normal, right up until he realizes the price of letting his guard down... Loren's trying not to hover and sort of doing a good job of it. Maybe. He keeps busy with the shop instead of thinking how much he wants to protect his new houseguest-and what he'd do to keep him safe. Thinking of each other, even though this is all so new, can Kei and Loren grow closer together? Or will this new fright set them at odds with each other?
