“I asked you about the Santa when Roxy and I were cooking.” Amethyst reminded me while I was getting the Sandman potion ready. “I had a dream.”

“A dream about the Santa and Roxy?” I jerked around, knocking the bed into a deep rocking motion.

The honeymoon bed hung from thick grapevines. The honeymoon suite was amazing. It was located in the tallest tree in Whispering Falls. From the bottom, it appeared to be a ton of stairs to get up there. Thanks to magic, you were at the top in five steps. It amazed the guests, but they took it for what it was worth and didn’t question. The magical feel of the community overtook their sense of logic and let the love flow.

“No. Nothing about her.” Her body stiffened.

“What?” I asked, shooing Mr. Prince Charming off the bed. “Did you remember something?”

“Patrick and Roxy are on their way back and she’s telling him they are going to figure out what happened to her friend Camille’s fiancé,” a soft gasp escaped her. “Hurry.”

“I have to be calm,” I let her know she didn’t make my nerves even more jumpy. “Steady the ropes.”

She grabbed them and held the bed still while I climbed up and sat down in the middle with my legs crossed. I held the piece of smoky quartz, focusing all my thoughts on the grounding energy of the stone, letting go of all troubling thoughts Roxy laid upon me.

“The moon is up, I hold its piece, the silver dust will guard my peace,” I chanted with my eyes closed. I held the stone in my right hand and flicked my wrist in slow clockwise circles, repeating the chant two more times, “ The moon is up, I hold its piece, the silver dust will guard my peace. The moon is up, I hold its piece, the silver dust will guard my peace.”

“Hurry,” Amethyst’s voice broke my trance. Her back was to the door.

“Fine.” I crawled out of the bed just in time to sprinkle a little Sandman dust across the pillows, smooth out the comforter, and throw all the stuff back in my bag.

“What’s going on here?” Patrick Cane stood at the threshold of the door cradling Roxy in his arms. He put Roxy back down on her feet. Both of them stared at us.

Their two dogs hurried over to Mr. Prince Charming before he darted out the door and Patrick stopped them from following him.

“Turndown service.” Amethyst twirled back around with a tray filled with cookies and hot tea. “There’s so many guests. June is so gracious to come help me with the bedtime service for the guests.”

“Yes, I hope you enjoyed your evening.” I ran my hand down my bag and swept across the floor towards the door.

“Are you joking?” Roxy shook her head. “I’m so sad over the death of Michael that I just can’t even. . .”

Patrick reached back over and dragged his wife to him.

“We just had someone die in our town and I think it’s bringing all of it back up for her.
