Joy of Witchcraft
“That’s the only way I could explain how I drove from Bethesda to the farmhouse in under an hour without getting a traffic ticket.
Gravel flew as I braked to a stop in the driveway. Clambering out of the car, I was struck by how deceptive sights could be. The garage dormitory looked absolutely peaceful, its cheery curtains safe and secure behind double-paned glass. I could barely make out the roofline of the barn over the hill. I could imagine the warders and familiars just starting to stir on a... lazy Sunday morning.
But signs of danger were clear, because I knew where to look. Spot stood on the top step of the porch, a low whine rising in his throat. The newspaper leaned against the door where I’d placed it when I left for brunch. Inside, the kitchen was a mess; our dinner dishes from the previous night were still stacked in the sink.
David always washed up, first thing in the morning, as his coffee brewed. He settled at the center island to read the paper, cover to cover. He never failed to let Spot out, waiting for the Lab to do his business, then welcoming the lumbering animal back to the kitchen with a teeth-cleaning bone.MoreLess
