Chapter Nineteen

By the time I stepped inside the bed and breakfast, rain soaked my hair and clothes. A puddle of water formed at my feet, rivulets of water streaming down my face.

Martin swept into the foyer from the parlor, gasping. “You’re dripping water all over my floors!” He raised the back of his hand to his forehead dramatically. “Were you raised in hell? You know, I actually was raised in hell, and I behave with better manners than you.”

“I’m sorry, Martin. There’s a downpour outside, in case you hadn’t noticed, and I didn’t have an umbrella, and my daughter is in crisis, so I don’t really give a shit about your floors.”

Mama Bear had come out of the cave.

He raised a green finger in the air. “It sounds like you’re not your best self right now, so I’m going to ignore those hurtful words.”

Bones appeared at the top of the wooden staircase, fluffy towel in hand. He descended the creaky stairs and handed it to me with a smile while Martin crossed his arms and huffed.

“People just aren’t considerate these days.”

Bones gave him a “look” and the imp threw his hands up in the air. “Fine, take her side. I’m just saying, I would’ve asked for a towel before entering someone’s very tastefully decorated, very clean bed and breakfast.”

Bones shook his head at me as if to say ignore him, which wasn’t an issue because I ignored most things that came out of Martin’s mouth.

“Where is she?” I asked Bones, and he nodded his head toward the parlor.

I finished toweling off, then crouched down to wipe the puddle of water away before Martin had a fit, well, more of a fit than he’d already had. I walked into the parlor where my daughter sat by the window, scrolling through her phone. Her hair was wet, clothes damp.

“Hey kiddo,” I said.

“I’m not a kid,” she replied without looking up.

Okay, so definitely entering hostile territory. Which I deserved. I was grateful for the steaming tea kettle sitting on the coffee table and poured myself a cup.

“How’d you get here so fast?”

“Megan picked me up and brought me.”

I hit my head. “Megan! That’s her name. I told Daniel it was Mary, which was close—”

Remy glared at me.

“Right. Not important.” I slid down to the couch, water dripping from my hair onto the cushions, which might send Martin into a catatonic state. “Do you have any questions for me?” I asked.

“Only about a million.” Remy finally sat her phone down and looked at me. “How could you lie to me like that? Magic is real? Witches are real? I’m seventeen years old and just now discovering that my mom has a wand and can perform spells with it? Megan admitted as much in the car ride over here.” She gestured out the parlor. “And Martin is green! How did I not notice that Martin is freaking green!”

“I prefer chartreuse, actually,” Martin yelled from another room.

Her eyebrows scrunched. “And what is Bones? I mean, he’s huge, like eight feet tall, and I somehow didn’t see it until today.
