Cure-iosity Shop was next on my list even before Chip mentioned the dispensary. I needed to question Sammy Munez, Percy’s allegedly competitive co-worker. Hopefully, I’d be able to gauge whether she had a hand in framing my client.

The smell of herbs and spices wafted through the air of the shop, both sweet and pungent. Although Cure-iosity Shop was new to me, the place felt oddly familiar. With its wide variety of items, it reminded me of pharmacies in the human world. It sold everything from cosmetics, to toys and games, candy, and medicinal substances. I lingered in front of a row of jars with all manner of herbs and berries. They included Spellbound staples like burstberries and fizzlewick—items unheard of in the human world. Each item had an information card on the shelf beneath it. No Google required when the pertinent details were right in front of you.

An elf appeared by my side. “Can I help you?”

I stared at the elf, my mouth suddenly feeling like it was filled with cotton. I’d definitely experienced this moment before. My stress level began to rise. Semi-psychic or not, how could I possibly have a dream so detailed? This wasn’t like my dreams about Raisa and the curse. I began to wonder whether Gareth had been mistaken this morning, but, if ‘yesterday’ hadn’t been a dream, then what on earth was going on?

“I…I’d like to see Sammy Munez,” I said.

“Are you sick?” the elf asked. “If so, you’re in the right place.”

“I do feel a bit queasy,” I admitted.

The elf grabbed a chair from the end of the aisle and shoved it underneath me. “Stay right here. I’ll bring Sammy to you.”

I only waited for a minute before a pixie came zipping around the corner toward me, her ringlets bouncing around her head.

“I’m Sammy,” she said. “What can I do for you? Judging from your sallow skin, I’m guessing an anti-nausea mixture is in order.”

“I can’t take anything while I’m pregnant,” I said.

“That’s not true,” Sammy said. “We definitely have a few that are safe for pregnant women. Do you have any other symptoms?”

I took a deep breath and tried to clear my head. I recognized Sammy, even though I was sure I’d never met her before.

The pixie placed a hand on my back. “Are you hyperventilating? Do you need a paper bag?” She paused. “I won’t charge you for it.”

“I’ll be fine in a second,” I said. I put my head between my legs and struggled to control my breathing. I wasn’t going to be much good to Percy if I couldn’t pull myself together.

The elf reappeared with a cup of water. “On the house,” he said, handing it to me.

I took a sip. “Thank you.” I regained my composure. “I’m not actually here for me. I’m here to ask you about Percy Atkins.”

Sammy scowled. “Are you a newspaper reporter or something?”

“No, I’m his lawyer.”

“You’re going to need a stronger constitution than that if you intend to defend bad guys,” Sammy replied.

I dragged myself to a standing position.
