Nox nestled in Geo's hair as he signed book after book. After high school he stopped hiding behind his pen name. He also decided not to go to college. Simon, who had become his market manager stood behind him, talking to the book store owner.
Elen walked up, dragging Ava behind her. Geo smiled at the two before pulling out a very special book for Elen. "Is this what I think it is?" She asked with pure excitement.
"The first addition, signed copy, first book in my new series, Encancy. Make sure not to spoil it for anyone or I won't be able to give you any more pre-releases." Geo told the now squealing girl.
"But you said only your family can get one!"
"Well you are my new sister in law." Geo smirked, as on que, his sister proposed. Ava already landed a big acting career so also skipped college.
"Thank god, we almost missed it, I told you your recital was way too long!" Mollie told Max as they entered with mom.
You should take a break and visit with them, they are here for you after all.
Geo smiled 'Ya, you right Nox.' Geo had finally bonded with the spirit after his first book became a best seller in Senior year. Turns out the reason now lower sprites wanted to bond with him was his talent for building worlds with words was too strong, or that's how Nox explained it. Geo shook his head and got up, hugging his mom and siblings.
He still had panic attacks, but Nox was always there to calm him down when he needed him. Life was better than it has ever been.
