Two hours later, she stood on her front porch and watched her sister disappear in a glittery flash of purple light. Miki heaved a sigh and fingered the sphere in the pocket of her baggy khaki pants. At least the pants weren’t as tight as they’d been when she’d arrived in Rossdale.

“Meow.”

Miki looked down and shook her head.

“Where have you been? I wanted you to meet Lena. You always seem to disappear whenever my sister or brother come around.”

She bent down to lift the cat, cuddling its fluffy black fur. Before she could scold the cat further, her cell phone chimed. Feeling confident and enjoying the cool afternoon breeze, Miki snapped her fingers to bring the phone to her.

And what d’ya know? It worked. With a happy grin, she punched the talk button, not even the name on the display bothering her.

“Hey, Perry. Do you realize we talk more now than when we were married? I was wondering when I’d hear from you. What’d you do, take yesterday off?”

“Very funny.”

Miki’s lips twitched at the irritation in his tone. As amused as she was, it wasn’t as much fun pushing his buttons as usual. When had hurting him, getting revenge for what he’d done to her, and most of all worrying about his opinion, stopped mattering to her?

“I didn’t call yesterday because I was being held by the police,” he informed her. His tone rang with blame. And unlike all the times during their marriage that he’d used that same tone with her, this time, Miki knew she deserved it.

“Police?” she asked weakly.

“Police. They really shouldn’t overreact so much, if you ask me. A person should be free to enjoy an after lunch... snack without being harassed.”

Miki bit back a groan. “Snack?” Did she really want to know?

He mumbled something, but all she caught were the words tablecloth and discreet. Equally horrified and amused, Miki didn’t bother to ask him to clarify.

As he went on about the unfairness of the Santa Monica P.D., Miki had to wonder how Pammy was dealing with it all, since the woman was sharing the same results. But since she hadn’t been cursed, the other woman had to be doing it by choice. Scary.

“Look, Perry, you need to quit eating out. Obviously that’s the core of the problem.”

“If I don’t go out, I’ll starve,” he claimed. Miki rolled her eyes. Sexually starve, maybe. But she’d survived that during their marriage, he could handle it until she fixed things.

Maybe she wasn’t quite over all of her anger yet.

“You won’t starve. But if you keep taking your love life on the road like this, you’re going to blow any shot you might still have at a promotion.” Might as well hit him where he’d listen.

He groaned. “I can’t lose my promotion. I’m already on shaky ground. If Betsy Etherington hears this latest scandal, she’ll shun me completely. Miki, what am I supposed to do?”

Miki pressed her lips together and gave the cat a helpless look. What was she supposed to do?

“Cook at home,” she suggested.
