If anyone else did this in the name of appeasing a mythical creature, Eddie would have called them crazy. He knew the boggart was real. Eddie had seen a
Jody cursed a blue streak. How dare he lurk there like a creepy stalker, watching her at work. Couldn’t he do his job and go home? Couldn’t he leave her alone? That’s all she wanted. Wasn’t it? She needed to return to her place behind the counter before the Germains noticed. The Germains were coming down the stairs. They were up at an early hour this morning. Now Jody was interested in what they were doing. This was the first time she’d seen Mr. Germain without his face in his phone. That was so out of character. Mrs. Germain looked fabulous as usual. However, her make-up seemed much more low-key. Though the largest change was that they were smiling. Now Jody was interested in the change between the couple.
Greta Johansen watched Eric Devlin from a few shops away. He’d stepped away to answer his cellphone. Eric was now having a very animated. But she couldn’t be sure whether he was angry or pleading with them. This was curious, and she wondered about what situation he found himself in. The stories and experiences they were told as the pair walked through the festival. Greta could barely keep up with all of it. These people were proud
“Oh, great thanks. I have my phone set up to send the photos to the cloud. This laptop can pull them from there.”So, he knew how to fix computers in his sleep. What else di
Daniel and April spent the day in the Sun Room as Daniel sketched and drew ideas. It was love. The man was in a creative flurry. His work for his next showsatcompleted and drying
Jody was searching for a snack and headed to the kitchen. She’d been dreading the next encounter with Billy. After so long. Why would he talk to her?
Greta came back into the library with an equipment case. She set it down on the table. “This is what I have right now. Device One tests for changes in magnetic fields. This place is a dead zone except for spots. We might want to try these.”“So, what does this device do?” Eric asked, picking up a round puck-like object and flipping a switch. Loud static comes from it, a speaker on top of the puck-like object.“It scrolls through radio waves, letting us pick up words we would miss otherwise. We sometimes get messages that come through between the radio stations. This one lets them produce words on the screen that the device can read out to us. They can pick which one they want to communicate through.
The humans were wandering around willy-nilly again. Why did they fight fate? They would be happier. Nyree slipped through the walls of the Blue Moon Inn. He watched the comings and goings of the crowds. It’d been a mistake to come with them here originally. But they were here now. He was trying to deal with the others that settled here before them.The human tribe that was here before called them nature spirits. Nyree called them wild fae. They didn’t follow the summer/winter courts. They were the rebels of the Fae Kingdoms. He’d been surprised to encounter them.His human tribe settled here over one hundred years ago. The other human tribe never did like his humans. This didn’t bode well for Nyree and the company’s relations with the wild fae. Both fae contingents fought for many years. It didn’t help that Nyree coul
Jody returned from lunch to discover the doilies gone. Every one prevented vases and lamps from damaging the Inn’s antique furniture. Gabby claimed not to have taken them. But she did request that Jody fix it with the spares.They both knew they would show up at some later date. The Lobby, Sitting Room and Dining Room looked unfinished. They finished the look of a well-appointed, turn of the century home, and it was key to the intimate image of the Blue Moon Inn.Jody returned to the front desk to discover several tourists with questions. She graciously answered them and gave a few added recommendations.Finally, with the lunch crowd over. Jody found time to search for the reserved stack of doilies. So, she was off to the well-stocked linen closet. There were two in the Inn. One for the upstairs linens and a second for the main floor.Jody opened the door and e
