intervening with them. It hadn’t
hurt any of the other couples, so it couldn’t hurt now.
She heard Ted coughing again. After she was finished
with this spell she’d mix him a little something for that tickle in his throat
because she couldn’t stand him coughing all day in the next office to hers
while he worked on the accounts.
Sadie pulled out one of her mixing bowls and checked
the shelves for just the right potions. Confidence, and the other one,
happiness, and yes, a dash of desire couldn’t help. She’d send the spell their
way in the form of rain.
Sorry,
guys. I know you’re at the park.
A floorboard squeaking outside her office made Sadie
hurry things along because Ted was a by-the-book sort of warlock, and if he
thought she was messing with the natural order of things, he wouldn’t think
twice about reporting her to the Council.
She poured in two drops of everything, swirled it
around and sent it out into the universe, repeating Luc and Katey’s names as she lifted the bowl into the air.

Neither she nor Luc had brought an umbrella with
them, but up until a minute ago it had been a beautiful cloudless day. Now it
looked like the heavens had opened up.
They got up from the bench and huddled together with
Willow leading them back to the house. Luckily they hadn’t gone too far, but by
the time they got home, both of them, along with Willow, were drenched.
“Where did that come from?” asked Luc.
“Out of nowhere and the strangest thing was it
didn’t look like it was raining anywhere else but on us.”
Willow freed himself of the water on his coat by
shaking his body.
Luc reached out and touched Katey’s t-shirt.
“You feel more drenched than me,” said Luc.
“Yep. I
didn’t take a jacket with me.”
“You want to take your clothes off? I mean, if you
want to dry them?”
They both burst out laughing. “I know what you
meant. I have a change of clothing in my overnight bag.”
“You want to help me up the stairs so I can change
too … I’ll take you to the guest room.”
Katey lifted her bag, and with her other hand placed it on Luc’s arm as she guided
him up each step.
“Okay, you’re almost to the top,” she said.
“Your room is to the right here and it’s next to the
bathroom.”
They walked arm in arm along the hallway until she
saw the room in question.
“Okay, got it. You want me to take you along to your
room?”
“Nope, I can find my way by feeling the wall.”
“I’ll change and wait here till you’re ready to go
back downstairs and we can get some lunch.”
Luc nodded and she couldn’t help but watch as he
made his way in the opposite direction, his hand sliding down the wall with him
touching certain objects like a light switch and a painting along the way.
When she knew he was safely at his room she went into
the bedroom and took out a pair of jeans and her white t-shirt. The room
overlooked the backyard and she stood admiring the roses and purple clematis
growing up against the fence that bordered his neighbor’s property. It was
heartbreaking that Luc could no longer take in their beauty, but maybe she
could encourage him to go out there and smell and touch everything.
She changed and took her wet clothing across the way
into the bathroom and hoped that Luc wouldn’t mind her hanging it over the door
of the shower so they could dry. She walked back into the hallway and looked
down toward Luc’s bedroom door. He hadn’t shut it and she noticed him standing
in the middle of the room without his t-shirt.
Katey knew
she should have turned away and given him some privacy, especially when he
couldn’t see her spying on him. But he was too gorgeous to ignore with the
muscles in both his chest and stomach toned, and his skin so smooth and perfect
looking. He put his arms into the air so he could place his t-shirt around his
neck, which made his stomach muscles flex some more. The sight was so
spectacular that it literally took her breath
hurt any of the other couples, so it couldn’t hurt now.
