It was almost as though a sixth sense (which I didn’t even really believe in) had kicked in, because as soon as I left The Glory Hole, my phone began to ring. I answered it and found Jolie on the other line.

“Hey, is everything okay?” I noticed she was breathing heavily.

“Not really. Natalie is here with me now, and she suggested I see if you could have an impromptu session with me and Cy...about his parents. We’re having some issues...”

“Oh, yeah, of course...” I panted out as I began to hurry down Main Street toward the castle. “Meet in Cy’s office?”

“Yes,” her voice was filled with relief. “Thank you so much.”

“I’m almost to the castle now. Be there in a few.”

She thanked me again, and I hung up, then power-walked to the castle. I was a mess, I realized, with my untucked shirt and lack of tie—which Natalie had taken. I wasn’t sure how I would explain my disheveled appearance, but maybe it didn’t matter because clearly Jolie was in crisis mode.

I rode the elevator up to the top of the castle, planning out what I might say if they asked me what I’d done in the park. I would just tell them the truth. After all, I had nothing to be ashamed of. Probably shouldn’t mention making out with Natalie though, right?

The elevator doors slid open, and it was like I had conjured up Natalie out of nowhere. Her eyes bulged when they landed on me. “Micah! You got here fast!”

I laughed. “I was on Main Street, so not far away. Is she okay?”

“Her in-laws are pigs.” Natalie crossed her arms over her chest. “Good luck. Cy isn’t back from lunch yet, so you’ll have a moment to hear Jolie’s side of the story first.”

“Uh oh. Did you get a chance to eat?”

“No, but I’m starving. Shall we meet up after you’re done?” Natalie suggested, her eyebrows arching.

“That would be great,” I agreed. “I better go.” I wanted to give her a kiss on the cheek, but I thought better of it. She smiled and stepped into the elevator I was still holding open for her.

I waved at the receptionist, who just nodded pleasantly at me as I passed. Marching down the hall, I got myself back into work mode. I’d really let myself go wild all morning, and now it was time to simmer down, get back under control. Deep breath, turn the door handle and... “Jolie?”

“Thank you for coming so fast! Cy’s on his way back from lunch.” She gestured toward the chairs where we’d held our other sessions, and I took a seat.

“Tell me what’s going on,” I prompted as I crossed my legs, my ankle resting on my knee.

She started from the time the Sweets had arrived at Spicetopia the day before, every critical remark Mrs. Sweet had made, every backhanded compliment Mr. Sweet had bestowed upon her.

“They made me feel like a cheap whore,” she admitted, struggling to keep her tears contained. I could already tell from her puffy eyes that she’d spent a considerable amount of time crying.
