Grace shuffled around her house, cursing under her breath. Fuck! She couldn’t trust anyone anymore, thanks to Janice and Ben. She grabbed a bottle of Irish cream from the cupboard, along with butterscotch schnapps and poured a healthy dose of each into a glass. While she drank the numbing nectar she thought about the consequences of her actions. If she performed a dark spell what would be the ramifications?

The doorbell rang, dragging her from her thoughts.

“Ben?”

He stood on the door step holding a white cardboard tube. “I found this today and wanted to give it back to you.” She reached for it but Ben held tightly to the tube. “Can I come in?”

Grace waved an indifferent hand.

“Are you okay? You seem out of sorts.”

“That fucking bitch Janice has now taken my clients! First you and now my clients!” she hissed.

“All of them?” he asked, puzzled.

Grace plopped onto the sofa with her velvet bag of rune stones and a dark chocolate Dove candy bar. “No, I still have Storm Design Group…for now.” She closed her eyes and plucked a single rune stone from the bag and scowled.

“Maybe this will bring a smile to your face,” he mumbled, pulling the rolled up paper from the tube.

He flattened the paper onto the coffee table, moving a treenware bowl out of the way. Grace glanced at the paper as she ripped the seam from the candy bar wrapper and sneered. “Really Ben? How the fuck is that drawing of our dream home supposed to make me feel better?”

She stood in a huff and paced the room, chewing on a large bite of chocolate and gripping the stone in her other hand. “A home that we’re never gonna have because she ruined our relationship…with your help, I might add!”

Ben lifted his hands in apology as Tilda stormed in the front door. “Poppet! We must talk! You mustn’t use black magic to avenge Janice!”

“Whoa!” Ben yelped. “Gracie, what are you planning?”

Grace’s eyes narrowed. “To repay the bitch for everything she’s done to me.”
