Avery decided she wanted the rest of her day to be normal, without any more drama. She stopped at the bakery and brought a selection of cakes, pastries, and three double-shot lattes with a sprinkling of cinnamon. When she arrived at the shop at just after eleven, she found Dan sitting on a stool behind the counter, reading a book. The music had changed, and Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” was now playing.

“Hi,” she grinned, trying to put her nerves behind her. “I’ve bought snacks.”

There were only a couple of customers in the shop, browsing in the thriller section, so she plonked the goods down on the shop counter and took a long drink of coffee. Sometimes she felt caffeine was the only thing getting her through the day.

“So the wanderer returns!” Dan said with a wry smile, and he put his book down and reached for a latte. “This is great. Cheers.”

“Quiet morning?” Avery asked.

“A bit of a rush earlier, but it’s quietened down now. What have you been up to? You’ve made Sally a very grumpy woman.”

Avery decided to come clean. “I’ve been questioned by the police, actually. All because me and Alex took a late night drive out to the moors.”

Dan’s face fell. “That poor woman. But they questioned you? I thought it was an accident?”

“A suspicious accident,” Avery explained, not wanting to say more. “Anyway, I think he was happy-ish with our explanation. Obviously, we know nothing.” Which wasn’t strictly true, but she wasn’t about to go talking about demons. Dan would think she was mad. In fact, she might be. “Where is Sally?” she asked, looking around.

“Out the back. Sally!” he yelled. “Coffee’s here.” He reached for a pastry. “Wow, these are awesome.”

“Oh, you’re back!” Sally said, coming from the back room, a mixture of relief and annoyance on her face. She looked at the coffee and cakes. “A peace offering?”

“Sort of. Sorry, Sally. It’s been a hell of a week.”

Dan spoke through a mouthful of pastry, “And she’s been interviewed by the police.”

“But I’m fine,” Avery rushed to calm Sally. “It’s just a misunderstanding.”

Sally leaned closer, glancing at the customers to make sure they were out of hearing range, and said quietly, “Things have changed since you picked up Anne’s stuff. Why?”

“It’s nothing,” Avery said, also leaning forward. “She just gave me some family histories, that’s all.”

“We both know about your—” she hesitated for a second, “practices. And it’s the Solstice. Do you need our help?”

Avery was so shocked that she almost spit her coffee out. “What do you mean—‘practices?’”

Dan smiled. “This is a witchy town, but we all know there’s more witch in some of us than others. And that includes you, Avery. And don’t panic.”

“I make no secret of my interests,” she started, defensively.

“Oh bollocks, Avery. We’re not talking interests. We’re talking practices,” Dan said, brushing pastry flakes from his shirt. “We respect your abilities, but they’re not a secret, not to us, anyway.”

Avery felt the hairs stand up on the back of her neck.
