Sorcery And the Single Girl
“This was stupid. I’d made phone calls before. Thousands of them. Why should this one be any different? Why should it make my pulse pound? Make my tongue swell up? Make tremors march up and down my arms, like tiny electric soldiers trying to kick me into action?
Or maybe I was just hung over from mojito therapy the night before.
