“It’s complicated,” Effie huffed. This was the only response I had gotten from her and Kate since I mentioned Brielle. Miller was steering the powerboat towards Green Holt and I was wedged between a pile of suitcases and backpacks that the sisters had insisted on bringing. Fitz was sat beside Miller trying to give him tips on flossing and I was trying to stay out of it.

I had sensed that Brielle didn’t want to talk about her cousins, but she had obviously been busy dealing with an injured mailman. I had hoped that I was just reading too much into it, but Kate and Effie were being equally short with me about it.

“Well, now I’m involved,” Fitz meowed, leaping over the bags and nestling himself between our feet. “You’ve both tried to dodge Sadie’s questions, which has officially made it interesting.”

“Stay out of it, fuzz face,” Kate replied.

“Hey, be nice to him,” I smiled.

“You know what happens when you try to keep secrets from me…” Fitz teased.

“Oh no, please don’t start—” Effie protested. It was already too late.

“The importance of flossing cannot be understated, so I won’t. Over the next forty minutes I will outline the—” he began.

“No! Please. We’ll tell you,” Kate pleaded.

Fitz, when he was in his human form, was a dentist. It makes as little sense now as it did the day I found out. He had also been Greta’s familiar, when she was alive, and she had told me many times how she never got used to the idea of her cat companion performing root canals.

It seemed that his ‘party trick’ was to try and bore you to death with oral hygiene information until you caved and gave him whatever he wanted. It was ridiculous, but in his defense it never failed.

“You are such a push over,” Effie groaned. “I’ll tell you; Kate will forget bits and you guys need the whole story.”

The boat engine was loud enough that we were almost shouting in order to be heard. Effie was sat opposite me and Fitz was trying to climb onto her lap so that he had the front row seat for the story.

“She’s older than us,” Effie began. “She’s the wonder child, the golden girl. She did the med-school thing and she volunteered abroad and did all the goody-two-shoes stuff that makes the rest of us look bad. We tried to point out that she has healing magic and that it just made sense for her to be a doctor, but still it was as if nothing we ever did was good enough.”

“So you guys don’t speak because…?” I said, still unsure.

“Our whole family pooled their cash and paid for her studies,” Kate interrupted. “When it came down to it, there was no money left for me and Eff, and we couldn’t get loans due to some incidents with missed cell phone payments that I won’t go into.”

“You wanted to go to college, but you couldn’t afford it?” I asked. We were approaching the island now
