Chapter Ten

When Petunia and Noah finally made it back home, grandfather was on the porch with an apologetic Cora, who professed how sorry she was for what had happened earlier at her house. “I told Simon how wrong I was about saying that you were a witch, or suggesting that Petunia had put a spell on Noah so that he’d date her. I don’t know why I do the things I do, but I can’t seem to stop myself from believing every rumor I hear, especially since that Jeremy Walters went missing all those months ago. Of course I know now that he was spotted elsewhere. Anyway, please forgive me and I promise I’ll try not to give you such a hard time in the future.”

Petunia was quite confused, since her grandfather didn’t look harmed at all. Surely if he had driven Noah’s car into a pole, he’d be injured somehow.

“Have you two been together the entire time since Noah and I left?”

“Yes, well, Cora came over when I came back here.”

Petunia had to shake her head and was beyond perplexed. That wasn’t possible and she had to fess up to Noah now, but privately.

“Well, Noah and I should leave you two kids alone. Noah, can you come over and change a lightbulb for me? I can’t seem to reach it even with a ladder,” Petunia said.

“I’d be happy to help out,” grandfather said.

“Oh, no. I’d rather just have Noah do it. You and Cora should go have a bite to eat. Didn’t you say you were a great cook?”

“There are some steaks in the refrigerator,” Noah suggested.

“Sounds like a plan,” grandfather said, getting up and disappearing into Noah’s house with Cora.

“What was that about, Petunia?”

“I’ll tell you once we’re inside.”

She led the way into her house and Pansy merely lifted his head, laying it back down. All of the cats were piled on the couch together and it was sort of cute. Pansy really seemed to enjoy being a cat now.

They went into the kitchen and sat opposite each other.

“So, what gives?” Noah asked. “What was so important that you had to drag me all the way here? A kiss, perhaps?”

Petunia glared at Noah now. “Ah, no. What I wanted to tell you was that I was holding something back before. When we were in the bakery, I saw someone driving off with your car.”

“Why didn’t you say so?”

“Because I was positive that my grandfather stole it and I didn’t want to get him into trouble. I’m not sure, but do you think he might be hiding something from us? How is it possible he had wrapped you car around a pole without being hurt?”

“Now, that certainly is a good question,” Noah said. “How good could you have seen him, though, from inside the bakery?”

“Sorry, but I’m positive it was him. His lack of injuries does give me pause, though.” What she wondered was whether he had somehow sampled one of her potions—but how? “There’s something else you didn’t hear at the scene where your car was eventually found.
