Chapter Nine

“It’s nice of your friend to let us stay at her house,” Gard said as he carried Terra’s suitcase down the stairs from her hotel room. His suitcase was already in his car and as they emerged into the wind and snow. “Maybe the weather will be a little better in Maryland.”

“I certainly hope so,” Terra said, holding her hand up so the snow wouldn’t blow into her eyes. “As for Violet, she’s said before that her house is always open to me so when I sent the telegram I already assumed she would agree.”

“That’s nice of her.”

“We’ve known each other quite a long time. She used to live in New York and decided to move to Baltimore after we left school. Violet taught me a lot about flowers and herbs, and she moved further south to study them more.” The car was within sight, and Gard hurried forward to open the door for her before she got there. “She also has two guest rooms, so there’s plenty of room for both of us.”

“Even better. I’ll sleep on a couch if I have to, but I don’t really like it.” He closed the door, then put her suitcase in the back with his smaller one. His fingers were nearly stiff when he cranked the engine, and even though it was still cold in the car when he got in, it felt warmer without the wind. “All right, let’s get going.”

Sunday’s phone call with the chief and Jacob had gone so well that when they talked with the Maryland police on Monday, it hadn’t taken them long to agree to have Gard come along. Terra’s expertise with trains had been the real tipping point. They wanted her to come to Baltimore to share her findings with the police and she’d insisted that he come along before she would agree. He had a feeling if he tried to present her evidence as his own they wouldn’t have bought it. The fact that she had even offered, however, was enough to make him like her even more. He glanced over at her.

“Uh, Terra?”

“Yes?” She was rummaging through her purse and frowning, clearly not expecting him to ask her anything too serious.

“What did you and Tilly talk about?” He knew his face was red and hoped she’d think it was from the cold.

“Mostly about her magic,” Terra said, taking out a piece of paper and closing her purse. “It was so interesting to talk to a real witch. Here’s Violet’s address. I assume we’ll be taking a taxi to her house unless you want to hire a car at the train station.”

“That’s probably out of my budget.” Gard had never rented a car, so he wasn’t sure how much it cost. He assumed it was a lot and didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of Terra if he couldn’t pay. She opened her mouth and he shook his head firmly. “You’re not paying for it either. There’s nothing wrong with taking taxis.”

“They’re easy to come by in New York,” Terra said.
