Chapter 21 - Stranger Danger

After Cora and Shiloh left, Goldie poured a glass of sweet tea and tucked herself into the Adirondack chair on the front porch to watch the sunset light the clouds and autumn trees with golden light. It was so different here than her native New Orleans, but in spite of her worries Goldie was truly coming to love it. The forest, especially, called to her.

While she watched the showy sky Goldie thought, when was the last time that she had felt as vital and excited as she had this afternoon with Cora, working on their magic together?

When she’d been kissing Flint.

Okay, yes, but that didn’t count. Did it?

She worked it all over in her mind, trying to get closer to making a choice about this switch mess. A once and for all, final choice, that would include being honest about who she was and who her sister was, and might move her into that big mansion. Where Flint lived. And where Cora lived.

As much as Goldie loved her sister, it wasn’t like she and Darby had that much in common. Or anything, really. Goldie frowned when she realized that, when Cora had called her “sis”, it had seemed as true as when Darby did the same.

She felt completely miserable.

It sounded like Flint wasn’t doing any better in the mood department. She could hear him now, stomping around, yelling to his brother to help him find something, maybe even shouting at him. Seconds later Bryce slammed out the front door and stomped to the mailbox, muttering to himself along the way. Goldie looked away. She knew what it was like to be at odds with your sibling.

She hoped Flint not telling her secret didn’t have anything to do with it. She sank into daydreams about thanking him.

A blue envelope waved in front of her face just as Goldie tuned into the voice by her side. “Hey, you awake? Jeez, you’re as deaf as my brother. I’ve been calling and calling you. Here, this letter was addressed to our side by mistake.”

Goldie reached for it absent-mindedly, her thoughts still half on Flint and how kind he’d truly been, but as soon as her hand touched the cool paper everything changed. The hairs on Goldie’s neck stood straight up, her stomach heaving with nausea. She stared at the
