Diana was the heart of Mystic Falls. All the residents adored her, and many of the tourists came back to get another reading from her again and again. For some, it was because they loved her soothing touch when she held their hand, but for most, it was simply because she was sweet and genuine.

It also didn’t hurt that she was an exotic beauty with long thick dark hair, gorgeous bronzed skin, and deep dark eyes. If she wanted to, she could pull off the long flowing skirts and big hoop earrings that were so popular in the town, but she did her readings in jeans and sweatshirts.

Diana didn’t need to put on a front.

“How many accidents have happened at the falls since you’ve been here?” Arabella asked as she polished off her fries and leaned back in her chair.

They were sitting at one of the patio tables and enjoying the low hum of Tibetan throat singers. Just outside the patio barrier, a group of meditators had gathered. A public street was an odd place to meditate unless one was charging people five dollars to grab a cushion and join.

Which Delores was. With her frizzy hair piled high on the top of her head, she waved her arms around so that her bangle bracelets clashed together while she led the group to spiritual enlightenment.

“I’ve been here a year, and this is the first time I’ve heard of anything like this happening. Of course there are injuries. Turned ankles and broken bones, but no deaths.” Sipping on her milkshake, Diana leaned back and sighed. There was a soft smile on her face.

“Long day?” Arabella asked.

“Long week. I can’t explain it, but I’ve had this knot in my back and a terrible feeling following me, but today it’s gone. Maybe it’s the milkshake.”

“It is a good milkshake,” Arabella agreed as she lifted hers in a mock toast.

Diana had been the first person to greet her when she moved in, and while Arabella was determined to keep to herself, Diana proved stubborn. She wanted to be friends, and Arabella finally relented.

It was nice to have someone to share meals with and chat to and invite over for a movie. It was something that she lacked back home. It wasn’t until she was twenty-five that she finally managed to break through her mother’s guilt trips to move out and get her own place, but even then, her mother and sister dropped by constantly, unannounced.

Once Arabella had a co-worker over, and her mother walked in and immediately got naked while announcing that her clothes were still lingering with magical residue. That was the last time Arabella had a movie night with a friend until Mystic Falls.

“Did you talk to Grant?” Diana asked. “I hope his request isn’t too much of an imposition.”

“Oh, in all the excitement, I completely forgot.”

Pulling the list out of her pocket, Arabella studied it. The rosemary and thyme were easy enough. It didn’t seem to require fresh herbs, so she could use the dry stock she ordered in bulk.
