Chapter Ten

It took a lot of fast-talking for Oscar to even get through to Colton about setting me free under the law. The Marys refused to let Celia have me jailed and I was grateful for that, but not without them scolding me first.

You know better. You didn’t listen to your intuition. You need to go back to University to a new intuition class.

Collectively, we all walked across the street to A Charming Cure where Colton and Oscar wanted to make sure there was no stone unturned.

“That is a splendid idea.” Mary Lynn was the sweetest of the three. She looked like the little granny with her silver curls tousled around her head. She always wore a black suit and her fox stole. Her voice even dripped with sugar. She eased around A Charming Cure picking up bottles, opening them, testing the cures on her skin, before smelling them and sticking them back on the shelf. “We really all should take those continuing education classes like all the mortals do with their skills.”

“Oh please,” Mary Sue rolled her eyes before dipping her finger into my cauldron and giving it a good swipe. She lifted her fingertip to her nose and took a nice long whiff before she stuck the tip in her mouth. She smacked her lips together. “Tasty.”

“I still think you need to go to more school.” Mary Sue wasn’t as forgiving as the others. She’d always been the brashest of the three and never let me off the hook for anything.

I wanted to protest everything they were saying, but I knew better. Any amount of bantering coming from me would only hinder their process more.

“I just can’t ignore the facts.” Colton held out his notebook and read from it. “Victim did come to your shop and didn’t reveal self. Suspect used spiritual gift to read victim, breaking the village law.
