His eyes were smiling and he seemed to look right back at her as though she should recognize him - and for no reason known to her, she immediately felt at ease with this stranger.
Whether it was the faerie dust, or Puck's own charisma, or possibly the fact that he had genuinely loved her with long time affection -whatever the attraction- she pulled the chain from across the door and let him in.
In the morning she would remember nothing of his coming at all - the only thing she knew was that the day after felt incredibly cheerful and full of light.
Puck had broken several of his own rules, and a few of the Fey laws besides. Getting to know Marley like that, he told himself, was good for them both, or so he had hoped.
