Kim Harrison- The Bespelled- short story in The Outlaw Demon Wails

A short story about Ceri and Algaliarept (Al). It has been 3 long months since Ceri has summoned Al and he was starting to worry, not for her safety but for her soul. He's been working the past 5 years to claim as his own. The only thing that can stop him from finally taking her is if she got married and as he appeared in front of her dressed in her wedding gown Al knew it was now or never. Ceri summoned him to say a finally goodbye but Al has other plans. He plays on her worry of growing old and the fact she doesn't love the Elf she is sent to marry. Will he win over Ceri? Will she go willingly?
