11.

Throughout the rest of the day, I found myself slipping my hand inside my pocket to fiddle with Edwards’s coin. I grew paranoid that he wouldn’t be able to locate me unless I was touching it.

I was going to drive myself insane with all this fretting.

Ethan didn’t come over to the house once it got dark, which made me wonder if he felt too ill to venture out. I felt like going over and checking on him, but I wasn’t sure if he’d want to see me. Finn brought Thai food home, and we all sat down together to eat, while I recounted what had happened earlier in the day with Emilia.

“Emilia Petrovsky came here?” Noreen asked in awe.

“She wanted to apologise to Ira. When I used my magic to block her from entering the house, she recognised my sparks as a skill that only the women in her family possess. She called it electrical fire. That’s how I ended up figuring out she was my grandmother.”

Noreen wore a thoughtful expression. “If she’s returning tomorrow, you need to be wary of her. She might claim to have turned over a new leaf, but you have to know that you’re dealing with a witch renowned throughout the city for her underhandedness and cruelty. There’s a rumour that she once had a servant killed simply for stealing a few pieces of jewellery.”

I rubbed at my forehead, feeling a headache coming on. “Seriously?” I didn’t know whether to be more disgusted by the fact that she killed a servant or that she actually kept servants to begin with. My granny was a cruel tyrant. As if I needed more trouble in my life.

“The magical families are very old fashioned,” Gabriel said. “Some of them like to think of themselves as superior beings, sort of like royalty.”

“And that’s why they go around acting like Henry VIII,” Rita said, biting at a nail. It was a bad habit of hers, something she tended to do when she was anxious. I made a mental note to ask her how she was feeling. If she sensed Theodore trying to make contact with her again.

“The main thing to do is watch her,” Gabriel went on. “If she really does just want to get to know her granddaughter, then that’s great. It could be useful to have her as an ally. However, if she’s not all that she seems, the consequences could be dire. You’ve seen how she cursed Ira with barely a second thought. People who don’t have a conscience like that are nasty work. They don’t care who they hurt.”

For the rest of the night, Gabriel’s warning rang in my ears. If it wasn’t one thing I was worried about, it was another. I was going to end up giving myself a nervous breakdown. Before getting into bed, I placed Edwards’s coin on my nightstand in the hopes that I’d wake up tomorrow morning and Dad would be here.

I opened my eyes to see light streaming through a gap in the curtains.
