Chapter 17
Kate stood in her kitchen and studied the recipes on her list. âI need more sandalwood.â
âGot it.â Libbie handed her an open container.
Julie inhaled the scent. âI love the smell. Whatâs it for?â
âInspiration, wisdom, and wishes,â Kate said.
Rebecca nodded. âSeems appropriate.â
Julie eyed Kate. âDid you ever figure out what the magic in your original cocktail was?â
âAccording to my research, it was the power of success,â Kate said. âObviously it worked out, but I donât understand how. Libbieâs magic helped people. Why was mine such a shit show?â
Rebecca pinched her cheek. âBecause you, my darling Kate, have been helping people your entire life. The magic you experienced was about helping you for a change.â
âBy dragging me through the wringer.â Kate mixed the first cocktail, paying careful attention to the measurements. If she wanted to give these women their best shot at success, that meant not screwing up the recipe.
âHey, your wart is gone, isnât it?â Libbie asked good-naturedly.
Rebecca splayed her hands on the island. âThe universe had to get your attention somehow.â
Kate smiled wryly. âI think it worked.â
Lucas pirouetted into the kitchen wearing a red curly wig and fairy wings. âI donât know who Iâm supposed to be.â
Kate laughed. âAva will tell you. She likes to make up her own characters.â He reached for a cube of cheese and she smacked his hand away. âThese are for my guests.â
âYou would deprive your husband of a single piece of cheese?â He clucked his tongue.
Kate picked up the cube and tossed it so that he caught it in his mouth.
âI think what youâre doing is great,â Lucas said.
She arched an eyebrow. âEven though thereâs no money involved?â
âThereâs money involved,â he said. âWeâre just donating it instead of earning it. Weâre sharing the wealth.â
âIâm sharing more than wealth,â Kate said. She was sharing herselfâher authentic self and all her experiences. Not just the ones that made her successful, but also the ones that made her scared and vulnerable.
âAre you sure you donât want me to take the kids out?â Lucas asked.
âNo, theyâll be good. Just try to keep your shenanigans upstairs.â
He smirked. âWhat? You donât think the ladies will want a glimpse of your fairy husband?â He flapped his sparkling green wings.
âIâm sure theyâd find you very appealing.â
The other women laughed.
âBritney!â Ava yelled from upstairs. âCan you come back now? I found a skirt for you.â
Kate laughed. âI guess she decided on a name for you.â
âDuty calls.â He leaned across the counter and kissed Kate on the lips before dancing out of the kitchen.
âStill a hunk after all these years,â Libbie said.
Kateâs chest tightened with emotion as she watched him disappear around the corner. She was so relieved they were back on track as a couple. The whole family would benefit from a strong marriage, although Avaâs costumes seemed to be benefitting the most right now.
By the time the doorbell rang, Kate felt ready. She smoothed the front of her dress and crossed the foyer to greet her guests. They were arriving together on a shuttle arranged by the organization.
