Chapter Ten

It was pointless to open the teashop after our visit with Rye, so I had decided to hand deliver the so-called holistic tea blends to those who had been supposed to stop into the store today. It took me less than thirty minutes. In that time, I had Leo go to the bakery to check on the dreamcatchers while Heidi had been tasked with searching the surnames that I’d gotten from Kathleen at the antique shop. I was hoping that she’d stumble across the blonde witch I’d seen in my dream.

“Have a good day, Raven,” Eileen called out from behind her desk, wearing one of her ostentatious sweaters that had sunflowers bedazzled over the front of it with a knitted bee on the fabric of her shoulder. Truthfully, I loved her ugly sweaters. The bright colors made for a better mood, and I certainly needed some of that sunshine today. “I’d tell you to say hi to Liam for me, but he’s been calling in here almost every hour on the hour to check up on Otis. To tell you the truth, I think the old geezer is enjoying himself a little too much sitting back in that old chair of his.”

“He’s just bored since winter seems to be hanging around a little bit too long,” I said with a smile, not wanting Eileen to know that anything was wrong. She would be on the phone with Liam the second that I left the police station. I wanted Liam to be able to spend some quality time with his sister without worrying about me and some supernatural apocalypse. “Although, I’m sure that Karen is enjoying the house to herself this week. Once fishing season starts, then she’ll be complaining that Otis is gone too often.”

“Typical marriage,” Eileen said with a chuckle. “Can’t live with them, can’t live without them.”

I’m on the side of can’t live with them.

Leo had made a grand entrance without Eileen any the wiser. He remained invisible, though I could sense that he’d made himself at home in one of the chairs alongside the far wall.

Literally. Our resident warlock is going to be turned into a toad, all because he fell for our resident baker. He couldn’t just leave it at that, though. Nooo. He had to go and be like you. I mean, what caused him to think shoving two powerful arcane relics into the woman’s freezer was a good idea? You don’t suppose that some zombie ate the cheater’s brains after one of our poker games at the cemetery, do you? I never actually gave it any thought, but it could be a reasonable explanation.

“Oh, and I do hope that the sweet woman who stopped into the station a few days ago was able to locate your mom. It’s always good to see old friends, isn’t it? Anyway, she was just darling, with that little triangle of a mole above her right eyebrow,” Eileen carried on as she pecked away at her computer. “It’s important to have friends like her.
