Chapter Thirty-Two
âSo Paris could have put a glamour on me, hiding me from view when we walked through Beverly Hills,â Faraday said while hurrying down a busy street in West Hollywood.
Sophia shrugged. âItâs not easy pulling off a selective disguising spell that makes it so that I can see you and Lunis but others canât. Disguises happen to be one of my specialties and putting them on Lunis has given me a lot of practice. Paris maybe couldnât pull it off.â
âOr maybe she wanted to stuff you in a duffle bag,â Lunis offered, not only disguised so others on the road didnât see him as a dragon but also under a compartment spell so that he didnât take up the entire sidewalk.
âWell, maybe you can teach Paris how to do this selective disguising spell so that I donât have to ride around in a duffle bag,â Faraday raced to keep up with the dragon and rider, who moved gracefully and in a nice rhythm with each other.
âSo you canât do any magic, even though you were once a magician?â Sophia asked curiously.
He shook his head. âNo, not since becoming trapped as a squirrel. But I wasnât ever good with magicââ
âHence the whole getting stuck as a squirrel,â Lunis cut in.
Faraday sighed. âWell, it was a tricky set of spells and involving time travel complicated things. But truthfully, Iâve always been better at science than magic. Now magitech is being understood better, and thatâs where I excel.â
âThen youâll like my sister, Liv,â Sophia offered as they rounded a corner. âAnd youâll like where Iâm taking you.â
âTo get a computer?â Faraday asked, intrigued.
Sophia nodded proudly. âItâs Johnâs electronic repair shop.â
âSo itâs a refurbished laptop, then?â Faraday questioned.
Sophia shook her head. âAlthough the shop has been closed for fifteen years, Alicia, a magitech scientist who married my brother Clark although she was in love with John, has been keeping her projects going there.â
âWow, things are so complicated in the Beaufont world,â Faraday remarked, having heard this history from Paris but still surprised by it.
âSo true,â Lunis stated. âThe Beaufonts are drama with a capital D.â
âWe arenât either,â Sophia argued. âItâs just that weâve had to do certain things to protect our family and places in the House of Fourteen.â
âI think the Beaufonts go to greater lengths to protect each other than most,â Faraday observed.
âI think youâre right,â Sophia said tenderly. âAnyway, before, the electronic repair shop specialized in fixing toasters and microwaves. However, over time, John and Alicia started dabbling more in magitech with Liv assisting them when she wasnât working on House business or doing something for Papa Creola. If anyone has a laptop thatâs up to your specs with more bells and whistles than you anticipated, it will be Alicia.â
âI canât wait,â Faraday said enthusiastically.
âSo you gave up going back to being a real man to stay in this timeline with Paris?â Lunis questioned.
Faraday nodded. âIt was a no-brainer. I mean, sheâs Paris and my best friend. Being around you two is another reason for sticking around.
