Zoie woke up to the sound of a knock at the door. She went to get out of bed, but Hugh held her close, restricting her movement. “Let them knock. Stay here next to me.” His eyes were still closed.

Another knock. “Zoie, it’s Stevie.”

“One sec.”

“Let us sleep!” Hugh called out.

Zoie threw on the first articles of clothing she could find and opened the door just a little bit. “Good morning.”

Stevie pushed her way in. In an angry but hushed tone, she said, “Hugh, you are not supposed to be in here. My father would throw a fit if he knew you were in here.”

He laughed. “Is he worried about her virtue?” He rolled his eyes. “Can you turn around so I can get dressed?” He sarcastically added, “I mean, I know I’m a … how do you describe that actor you like, Zoie? A super mega hottie? Regardless, Stevie, all this is for Zoie’s eyes only.”

Stevie rolled her eyes and turned around. “Yeah, you aren’t my type.” She continued to talk while looking at the door. “So, Zoie, today we’re going to go to walk around the city a bit, so you can see the Abyss, and while we’re out and about, you and I will talk about how to proceed with the magic part of things.”

Hugh interjected, “Stevie, I had forgotten to tell Zo before dinner that you told your mom that she was a witch. But I told her after.” He added, “Oh, you don’t have to look at the door anymore. I’m decent.”

Stevie nodded slowly. “Oh! Yeah, Zoie, I’m really sorry I didn’t give you the head’s up on that one. It’s just better for everyone all around that she believes you’re a witch.”

Hugh pulled Zoie close. “I’ll see you later. Enjoy your day with Stevie.” He leaned over to kiss her, and she got on her tiptoes to meet him. As he grabbed the doorknob, he turned to Stevie. “Take care of her.” He looked back at Zoie again. “I will see you this evening.”

There was another knock at the door. “Miss Zoie?”

Zoie opened the door. “Good morning, Clarice.”

“Just getting out of bed at this hour? You must have been exhausted after your trip yesterday.”

Stevie laughed. “Clarice, you don’t have to be proper in front of me. We all know she was up late with her boyfriend, thanks to that killer dress you got her yesterday.”

Clarice smiled. “It’s not my place to say anything.” She turned to Zoie. “I brought you some more comfortable choices for the next three days.” She then showed her the shoes and smiled proudly. “No heels.”

“Thank you so, so, so, sooooo much!” Zoie laid everything out on the bed and started to make her decisions.

Clarice asked, “I don’t think that you will need me for any of these. May I take my leave at this time?”

“Oh, of course. I appreciate all that you do.” Clarice exited and then Zoie turned to Stevie. “Okay, so what is the weather like out there? So I can pick the correct outfit.
