Chapter Ten

“All I’m saying is I don’t understand why you would have sought advice from the Jinx sisters. Aren’t they the very same women you spent nearly every day of my life warning me to steer clear of them?” I’d spent the last two hours trying to make sense of the inexplicable developments.

My father removed his reading glasses from his face to rub his eyes. “Honey, we never told you that they were bad people. Our only concern was that you’d fall prey to some of the vicious tales spun about them and their rather eccentric way of life. We’d never tell you not to speak to someone, unless of course, they were dangerous people or involved in illegal activities.”

His words weren’t doing anything to halt my frustration. The fact of the matter was we were still moving into a small house situated a mere five feet from the Jinx sisters’ lifelong home. How did that become my new reality?

I sighed. “We’re honestly going to move into that house?”

“Sweetheart, don’t pout. You’ll get wrinkles,” my mother warned me.

“Good. Maybe, I’ll ask the witches to cook up a potion to help me with that someday,” I groaned.

My father’s eyes narrowed for a moment, before he realized I was joking. “If they can do that, where do I sign up?”

I grinned. “Why are you giving in to Zephyr’s demands? Where did you meet him?”

My parents exchanged glances.

All my life, they’d been upfront with me about everything, keeping things age appropriate, but never once had they intentionally mislead me. Now, I worried why the sudden secrecy. What weren’t they telling me?

“Melanie, we’re fine. We’ll be fine. We don’t want to add any unnecessary stress to our lives. What matters is that we are all together again. We can be thankful for that,” my mother tried to assure me.

I sunk deeper into my seat on the sofa, determined to not let myself get worked up over things I couldn’t control.

My father patted my leg. “Change will be good for us. We’ve enjoyed this house. We’ll miss it, but that won’t erase our memories.” His voice cracked.

I had to turn away from him. I didn’t want him to see how much it angered me. No matter what happened, I was determined to do whatever I could to fix their situation, even if that meant having to face Zephyr alone and using Miss Maita’s advice to get me there. As for the Jinx sisters, I still had my doubts about them. It seemed like every time they were anywhere nearby something crazy happened.

“Dad, you know I love you and Mom with all my heart, but I can’t sit here and watch you ride off into the sunset without putting up a fight,” I said. “Where did you meet this man?”

My mother looked to my father before hanging her head and answering, “We didn’t seek him out; he found us. Your father and I were beginning to feel the pinch and we sought counsel from a friend… well, she tried to help and the next thing we knew Zephyr Willis gave us a call.
