“My job’s no problem. I can work from here.” Ellie dismissed Faith’s worry with a wave of her hand as they kicked around Faith’s idea of Ellie becoming Mona’s secondary caretaker. Faith wanted to gauge Ellie’s willingness before speaking to Fred about the possibility.

Fred’s wife reminded Ellie of her nana, who had experienced similar periods of disorientation, Ellie confided on the front porch, where they’d gone to speak privately. “She lived with us while I was in high school. I loved spending time with her. And I was good with her, Faith.” Ultimately, Ellie’s grandmother moved to a nursing home. “I’ll do my best to keep Mona safe. She’s lovely.”

“And she certainly took to you. But she’s a bit unpredictable, too.” They would all need to be vigilant, she added, explaining about Mona’s spells.

Relieved to have lined up some potential relief for Fred, Faith grabbed Ellie’s suitcase and led her friend to the last remaining room on the second floor.

“Sorry, El, but all the en suites are taken. You’ll have to share a bath with my mother and me.”

“No problem. It’ll be like old times in the dorm.” Ellie tested the edge of the four-poster bed.

“True.” Laughing, Faith impulsively hugged her friend, the unpleasantness of their early-morning exchange evaporating as she realized how much Ellie’s unexpected appearance at The Mermaid’s Purse cheered her.

Because if Faith had ever needed a friend to confide in, it was now.
