"But it’s the timing of the harvest that most witches overlook."Rita nodded absently. "Gogo always picks it under a waxing moon.""Smart woman." Derek shot her a sidelong glance. "You seem better today.""I am.""Were you ill again?" His brow furrowed with what might have been concern—if Rita didn’t know better.She shrugged. "Just tired. I thought maybe Zach was… feeding off me somehow."Derek went very still. "Why would you think that?""He kept showing up when I felt worst. Said weird things about my energy."A beat of silence.

The deep, bone-weary exhaustion had receded, leaving only a dull ache—like the echo of an illness fading. She stretched, her fingers brushing the thick Sotho blanket that had cocooned her all weekend.Freda glanced up from her spellbook as Rita shuffled into the common area. "Look who’s alive.""Barely," Rita muttered, collapsing onto the couch beside Pru, who wordlessly handed her a bowl of oatmeal drizzled with honey."You look better," Pru observed."I feel better," Rita admitted, spooning a bite into her mouth. "But I still don’t know what’s wrong with me."Freda snapped her book shut. "Which is why we’re doing the ritual tonight."Rita blinked.
