The memories of Chicago summers and cracking open the fire hydrants to drench the streets with cool water to dance barefoot through with rolled-up jeans and sunshine tea left on the window sill
they are nothing in the face of Nathan, likely laid up in the hospital by now. That Summer has taken people from his Barony and sent them back dazed with only sunburns and vague memories of faerie kindness, the kind that is like poisoned honey.
John comes out of it in the span of a blink, the spell shattered. There are roots, not friendly grass, reaching up from the ground to hold him down. It's only a burst of adrenaline that lets him pull his arm free.
Something leaps at them just right of Dresden's ear.
John doesn't think. Just aims and fires, to hell with the recoil that throws his arm back. With the shot comes aching as the adrenaline ceases to pick up the slack and there are roots all over him.
