Bel woke up with a smile and the taste of peppermint still on her lips. Four hours was all she had gotten, but she levered herself upright and checked her messages.

She had another repeater with a downed oven. The first time he had needed help with his conveyor belt. He was a prompt payer, so she showered and got into her boiler suit.

It was going to be a filthy job, but that is what she was paid for.

She sent out the last of her invoices and headed home after three back-to-back calls that—thankfully—were easy fixes.

Bel used her magic to cleanse her suit of the grime of the concrete floors and the gears that didn’t want to stay in place.

She was just settling her truck into the parking spot when her phone went off again. She answered it. “Sweet Repairs.”

The voice she had been hoping for was on the other end of the line. “Hello, Bel. I was wondering if you would have time to check on a drop press for me?”

She checked her watch and then remembered she didn’t wear one. “How long will you be there, Rex?”

“As long as you want me.”

Bel fought the mental images that came with that husky rumble.

“I will see you in half an hour. On my way.” She hung up and checked her mirrors before putting the truck in gear.

She liked driving. It wasn’t as much fun as when it had involved horses and wagons, but she did enjoy controlling where she went and how fast.

The quiet evening let her get through traffic with relative ease, and when she parked the truck behind the shop, the bar of light let her know that the rear door was open.

She entered with her toolkit in her hand and looked around. The stations were quiet and only the copper pot was in action.

“Where is everyone?”

“It’s after nine. They are home with their families, exhausted after a busy day.” Rex stirred the sugar with a practiced hand and the wide wooden paddle.

She approached cautiously. “Making more candy canes?”

He nodded. “We sold out of the first three batches. I am trying to get ahead for tomorrow.”

A plastic drape showed her where her work was needed. “So, what happened to the roller press?”

He sighed. “Freak accident. We were running a batch of mints and a pan fell in, dislodging the roller.”

Bel grinned at him as she removed the plastic tarp. “It seems to be a theme.”

She looked at the patterned roller and winced. The pan had gouged the pattern as well as dislocated the roller from the gear system.

This wasn’t an easy fix.

Rex rolled the molten candy to the cooling table and poured it. Thanks to watching earlier, she knew that she would have a chance to work her magic when he was pulling the candy.

She didn’t need to lock the machine. It was a hand crank. With focus, she got to work resetting the roller.

“Is there much damage?” Rex folded the sugar and kept an eye on it. His work with the pallet knives was fun to watch.
