Chapter Six: Winter Wonderland

Adam helped me close up shop at ten before we headed to Liddy’s for the winter solstice party. The taco dip was secure in a cute little Rubbermaid container, Delilah was looking hot in one of my Devil-era S&M outfits, and I was feeling smug about my carefully calculated plan to get her and Samson back together. Now that I had all the deets about the supernatural forces at work behind the scenes, I could reveal the truth to both of them and let love take its course. Even if Samson decided to be stubborn, there was no way he could ignore Dee decked out in black leather and gleaming studs.

Liddy lived on the edge of Eden with her sister in their family home. When her parents bought a second home in Hawaii, they’d given the older two-story house, reminiscent of Scarlett O’Hara’s southern mansion, Tara, to their daughters. The house was white with black plantation shutters, a wraparound porch, complete with monstrous columns, and a long driveway graced with willow trees.

Puffs of soft, white snow fell on the truck’s windshield as Adam maneuvered down the lane, the willows bending together to form an enchanting tunnel. Liddy and her sister had strung hundreds of white lights around the porch columns and railings and a bonfire was burning out between the house and a large barn.

People hung out in small groups on the back porch and around the bonfire, talking, drinking and enjoying the falling snow. The inside of the house was lit only by candles and fires burning in the fireplaces in the formal living and dining rooms. After dropping off the dip in the kitchen and chatting with Liddy for a minute, Adam, Delilah and I made our way out to the bonfire to find Keisha and Samson.

I scanned the crowd for Father Leonard as well. When I’d called to invite him, he’d been skeptical about the celebration, but told me he’d attend because he’d done some research and wanted to share something about angel and demon possession with me. He’d made it sound secretive, like he was afraid to share it over the phone, so I’d encouraged him to find me at the party.

Most of the crowd belonged to Keisha’s coven of voodoo followers. Scanning those I could see in the light of the fire, I was disappointed Father Leonard was not among them. Maybe he’d changed his mind or gotten sidetracked by something at church. Hopefully, he’d show later in time to help me with my plan, if nothing else.

Since he towered over everyone there, Samson wasn’t hard to find. Marcia and several other Witches Anonymous members had trapped him near the barn. Whatever they were asking him, it was clear on his face he was uncomfortable about it. I made Delilah stay on the back porch while I went to extract him from their clutches.

Adam stopped to talk to someone he knew by the bonfire, and I stopped with him, watching the jumping flames and inhaling the burning wood scent.
