Chapter Twelve
Just when I thought the day couldnât get any worse, my sponsor decided to pay me an unexpected visit. âHello, Hagna. So nice of you to stop by.â Why, why, wwhhhyyy?
âI wish I believed you were happy to see me. Can I please come in?â
âCome in?â I turned to Puck. Itâs Hagna, I mouthed. Sheâs probably looking for my probation officer.
Am I in trouble? he mouthed.
Yes.
Puckâs cheeks turned an alarming shade of green.
âWhat are you doing here, Hagna?â I asked. âYou never stop by.â I grabbed Puckâs hand and dragged him back to the kitchen while he hyperventilated. âI wish I would have known. I would have cleaned up.â
âPlease open the gate, Abigail.â
âI will.â Puck and I hurried over to St. James, and we each grabbed an end. I had him by the feet, and Puck had him by the arms. We pulled in opposite directions. Oh, for heavenâs sake!
Follow me, I mouthed.
Puck nodded, and we dragged my sleeping parole officer down the hallway.
âAbigail,â Hagna said. I had the phone between my shoulder and ear. âThis is serious. Let me in, or Iâll have to fly over.â
âOkay. Hold on one second.â I put St. James down and used the app to open the gate. âSee you soon.â I shoved Stewartâs phone back into my pocket, grabbed St. Jamesâ arms, and continued to drag him to the library.
âWhat happens if Hagna finds out about your parole officer?â Puck asked.
âNothing good.â I propped St. James up on the couch. Gosh, he was heavier than he looked. All that working out did not work in my favor. I shoved a pillow under his head and pulled a blanket up to his chin. âYou need to find a place to hide,â I told Puck.
âWhere should I go?â He followed me out of the room.
I locked the door. âThere are like two hundred rooms and closets in this place. Find one and stay there. Hagna called me earlier looking for St. James. I think thatâs why she is here. If she finds him passed out, there will be a whole lot of questions that neither of us wants to answer right now.â
Like, why is your boss dead?
âHow about I come clean,â Puck said. âItâs going to happen eventually. I can explain what happened. They have to be more reasonable than the police were in this situation since they know magic is real.â
âThatâs a horrible decision. Trust me. We must tie up loose ends before we involve the authorities.â I opened the powder room door and shoved Puck inside. âStay here.â
The doorbell rang, and I cringed.
Grande barked and galloped down the upstairs hallway. I ran to the foyer and caught him by the collar. âHold on, boy,â I said and scratched him behind the ear. âHold on. Take a breath.â I was mostly talking to myself. Hagna knew me better than most. She would suspect something was wrong if I appeared too agreeable or too frazzled or too anything but my normal brusque self.
Fake it, witch.
