“Can anyone come with me to Tivercana?” I asked as I stepped back into the café. Effie was on the phone taking orders and the only other woman behind the counter looked to her for approval. Effie nodded.

The woman removed her apron and walked with me to the café exit and out onto the sand. “I’m Rosie, we haven’t met,” she smiled. I was being such a terrible cafe manager. I hadn’t introduced myself to anybody and I was taking more time out from the café to go out on boat adventures.

“Rosie, hey, I’m Sadie. I’ve been a bit caught up with...”

“You're the new peacekeeper. Greta was always busy too, that’s why Effie is the efficiency machine she is, because she had to take over at short notice all the time if there was a clan dispute,” Rosie giggled. We had circled the building to head towards the marina and Rosie had barely come up for air, she was speaking so fast that I wondered if she even needed oxygen.

“I’ve been at the cafe for a few years now, such an honor to work with the peacekeeper and serve the community, you know? Like, people will always need to eat so it’s steady work, we have tourists here all the time and it’s been such a good distraction since Greta died. The witches and humans that come here don’t even know about our peacekeeper thing, so they didn’t think anything weird was going on.

“I swear they don’t see people fighting or the graffiti or the litter. I wonder if there is some magic that prevents guests to the island from seeing it for what it really is? Ha, maybe my boyfriend had that spell on him too,” she said, finally pausing.

“You say the tourists haven’t noticed that there’s been tension?” I asked, bracing myself for another long response.

“Yeah, they still fly in and lie in the sun, buy our novelty hats and stay in the fancy hotels. Maybe it’s willful ignorance. No one wants their vacation to be ruined by the locals. Now that you are here it should all be back under control. Greta has been the peacekeeper for so long that I don’t remember if the last transition involved so much conflict.”

“Do you have any theories about what happened to Greta?”

“Oh boy, do I? Wow, so first of all she was like, super into Ryder, right? I don’t think Ryder was vibing in the same way, so what if he killed her? Or... what if some other woman on the island killed her over a rivalry thing? There are a ton of woman that would love to hook up with that tall drink of water. Or—”

“What about the stalker?” I interrupted. She looked at me very seriously all of a sudden and a tear rolled down her eye.

“I’ve considered it, but I have to keep those ideas out of my head otherwise I’d be unable to get out of bed in the morning,” she sobbed.

“When did you first
