Cleo didn’t want to be at the apartment when Edie left for the tour. So instead, she was at her mother’s suite at Oakmont Residencies, watching a movie together as the rain came down outside. “Edie’s leaving on tour,” Cleo said during a lull in the action. “So I’ll have the apartment to myself for […]

Iris was eager to get started as soon as Andrew and Noah explained what was going on. Andrew felt better in here, surrounded by magic and sturdy locks. Iris was a professional after all, her setup made this shop nearly airtight when she wanted it to be. And if Noah said he was ready to […]

“I’ll get it!” It was a scorching afternoon about ten days later. Andrew swung around the corner toward the phone ringing on the wall of the Limerick’s back room, hearing Liv call thanks behind him as she scrubbed the final spills of the day off the counter. He picked up. “Thanks for calling The Limerick, […]

Judith Perez could not believe she was stuck not only working with Iris Davies, but trusting her as well. She hung up the phone in her office and debated whether or not she should have bitched Iris out instead of just telling her thank you for the information. The pages still existed. Maybe. A ghost […]

Roman loved his in-laws, he really did. And he’d been over their house in Boxborough since getting out of New Winslow, so it wasn’t like it would be a shock if he showed up with Celine and the kids this time. But Celine was dropping them all off for an overnight with the grandparents where […]

The sound made him cringed as he looked over and saw Iris’s name on the screen. “Hey, Iris,” he greeted as he answered, […]

The next morning, Cleo was still a little hungover as she pulled into what she hoped was a legal parking space outside of her building in Brighton. She turned off her car and hesitated before opening the door. Now that she was actually here, she didn’t want to go inside and face Edie. It was […]

Later that night, Andrew and Cleo were sitting on his squashy, comfortable couch in the privacy of the Limerick’s upstairs flat. Work had been busy that day, but it still seemed to him to crawl by. Cleo had gone to see her mother in the afternoon and Andrew had half-expected her to resolve things with […]

Phone service sucked everywhere in New Winslow, but it was slightly better downtown than it was up by Liv and Noah’s house.
