Chapter 9

“Do you have any idea the kind of power it takes to do what you did tonight, Bernie?” Ridge asked. “No one, not even Winnie, can grab hold of a spell that powerful and bend it to their will. You were amazing.”

Well, that was sort of the problem, wasn’t it? She didn’t know. She also didn’t know how she’d done it. But she did know seeing Violet threatening to hurt Gus had upset her to the point that she’d felt a rush of unimaginable rage.

Gus had been so kind to her, she wasn’t going to stand around and just let him end up annihilated by a stronger, younger witch.

She’d reacted. For the first time since she’d had a name for what was happening, she’d taken control. How she’d known what to do was just luck and Fee’s cheerleading.

Maybe what she’d done had to do with fear—stress? “Freaked out” was an understatement as she’d watched Violet and Doris talk while they played bingo. The entire time she’d been calling numbers, she’d wondered how Doris had found her, and why? Why would Eddie’s somethin’ on the side come to Paris?

Panic had begun to dig in by the time Violet set her sights on Gus, but she’d lost track of Doris in the fray. She’d scanned the parking lot after most everyone had cleared the center, but nothing. Doris had disappeared.

Maybe she’d just been seeing things? Maybe it hadn’t been Doris at all? She was starting to wonder what was real and what wasn’t anymore.

“So, wanna show me how you did that thing with your hands?” he joked, grinning at her.

Bernie stared at Ridge for a moment as he leaned against the Pacer and eyed her, pinning her with his intent gaze when she didn’t answer.

A change of subject was needed. “I crushed the center because this magic thing is bigger than I am. Demolished it. I’m struggling to…manage my magic. But I’ll help fix Hallow Moon. Whatever it takes.”

Ridge lifted his square jaw. “You don’t have to worry about fixing anything, Bernie. The seniors will handle it.”

“Uh, no. I’m not going to let them clean that up. It’s a mess in there, Ridge. I’m not going to have someone’s hip replacement on my conscience.”

Ridge cocked his dark head at her, pulling his Stetson off and setting it on top of the Pacer’s roof. “Bernie, no one’s lifting anything. They’ll cast spells, use their wands to rebuild. They have the technology.”

Right. She kept forgetting the magic part of her new life at the most inane times. It seemed at every turn, she was giving her secret away. Bernie winced, straightening her tracksuit jacket that Flora had kindly taped together with duct tape to keep her covered.

If she wasn’t careful, she was going to get caught, and then who knew how many classes and years of studying she’d have to do to get off probation? There was no margin for error here.

Looking down at the pavement of the parking lot, she nodded. “Of course.
