Joni looked over at Max, wondering how he was taking this whole thing. He looked a bit skeptical, but she really wanted to know what the fairies were saying to them. Maybe it was strange, but she’d heard enough stories about Jaclyn and what the fairies were saying that she almost believed the woman really did talk to fairies!

Leaning forward, Joni said, “Yes, please tell us what message they have for us.”

Max looked at her as if she’d lost her mind, but he said nothing, instead taking her hand in his and squeezing it. If she believed Jaclyn really did talk to fairies, then he could help her find the right sort of medical help after she got to Texas.

Jaclyn frowned at him for a moment before responding. “The fairies said to embrace new challenges.”

Joni frowned. “That’s all?” She’d been certain the fairies would have a more interesting message. That was absolutely boring, and not even a bit cryptic. She wanted a cryptic fairy message!

“What were you expecting? Don’t travel to anywhere in the South during the full moon?” Jaclyn shook her head. “The fairies tell me what they want to tell me and not a single word more.”

“I don’t know. I’ve heard so many people talk about the messages you give them and how much better you make them feel. And then you tell me that I need to embrace new challenges? I kind of feel…well, cheated is the only word I can think of to describe it.” Joni didn’t want to risk making Jaclyn angry, but she really wanted a better message.

Jaclyn sighed heavily. “Okay, don’t use a toaster if there’s a blizzard forming in Montana.”

“So never, huh?”

Jaclyn laughed. “That’s right. Never!”

Joni looked over at Max, who was watching her as one of the bunnies tried to climb up his chest. “I think Max likes your bunnies.”

“Oh, I’m sure of it. It’s the eccentric old woman wearing fairy wings who talks to fairies he’s still trying to figure out.” Jaclyn abruptly got to her feet. “Put down the bunnies and go. That’s all the fairies had to say to you.”

Max carefully set each bunny on the floor, wondering why the creatures seemed to like him so much. “Thank you for the cookies.”

Jaclyn nodded. “The fairies told me you needed tea and cookies. I’m glad they weren’t wrong, but they never are. Have a good day, you two. Joni, don’t get too close to the water. The ice isn’t thick enough yet.”

Joni wasn’t sure why Jaclyn found the warning necessary. She wasn’t exactly known for being foolhardy, but she knew she needed to thank her regardless. “Thanks, Jaclyn. I’ll be careful.”

“Good. I don’t know that this guy would be able to handle it if you fell through. I think he might just mourn you for the rest of his life. Sudden deaths do that to a person.” Jaclyn looked sad for a moment, as if she was remembering something. “Now go on! I’m done with you.”

Joni saw that Max was finally bunny-free, so she stood up.
