Chapter Twenty

“When I move out, you’ll be able to rent the place for tons more,” Liv said to John as they stood on the long veranda she’d magicked, expanding her small apartment. The studio, which had been four hundred square feet, was now more than double that with a separate bedroom from the living area and a walk-in closet. Actually, it was no longer a studio apartment but a one-bedroom.

“You’re not planning on moving out any time soon, I hope?” John asked, looking out at the street below from the roomy balcony. Jasmine flowers snaked their way through the arbors overhead, shading them from the sun. Before she’d spelled it, the area had simply been a fire escape with hardly enough room for one person, but now Liv had a place to drink her morning coffee and read the newspaper. She’d even joked to Plato that she could put a litter box out there for him, and he’d scowled in response. He’d never used a litter box before. Honestly, Liv didn’t know where he did his business. More of the mysteries of the lynx.

“No, of course not.” Liv looked at her handiwork appreciatively. “I just made the place the way I like it. I still don’t know why you won’t allow me to upgrade your apartment.”

John waved her off. “I like my place the way it is. The upgrades to the shop were nice, though. Thanks to you, the place is perfect for all the new business we’re getting.”

“It was Clark who did all that,” Liv admitted. “But thanks to him, I know how to expand spaces. At least, I’m getting better at it.”

John looked down at where they were standing, worry springing to his face. “It’s safe to be on this balcony, right?”

Liv didn’t hide her apprehension. She’d tried several times to upgrade the floors, but the old one with the original cracked hardwood kept resurfacing after a few days. “You know what? Maybe we should go inside. I have a few more upgrades to make, then let's go out for pizza and donuts.”

“Which one?” John asked, following her inside.

“Both,” Liv chirped. “Why should we have to choose?”

“Well, I’m not sure my doctor would agree with that,” John reasoned. “But I’m not a magician who can eat whatever I like, either.”

Liv paused once they were inside. “On second thought, let’s go to that new vegan restaurant down the street. I hear their hummus tacos are pretty okay.”

John grimaced. “Hey, I don’t want to die anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean I have to force myself to eat rabbit food. Life is meant to be enjoyed.”

Liv considered him for a moment. “Have you been taking your meds?”

He nodded.

“And drinking that superfood blend I got for you?” she grilled.

He nodded again.

“Fine, let’s go for pizza, but we’re getting mostly veggies on it,” she stated, swirling her hand at the ceiling, making it go up several yards. “That’s better. I needed a high ceiling.”

“Wow,” John said, marveling at the newly raised ceiling. “Do you think Ms.
