The Good Witch's Destiny Page #2

---

everything just seemed beyond perfect.

It's the right time, right place,

right guy.

- Marriage.

- Yeah.

I'm happy that things are

working out so well for you.

- Oh!

- Oh...

So much for my lucky briefcase.

It was really time you replaced it anyway.

What is that?

That satchel

is part of the same collection

as the playing cards.

It belonged to a great magician.

Some say he was Houdini's equal

until a failed stunt ended his career.

Really. You know what, I'll take it.

Hmm. Are you sure it's for you,

using another person's magic?

I'm not superstitious.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you borrow it, and if

you like it, you can pay me back.

That sounds like my kind of deal.

Can we get out of here?

I just really want that

lunch that you promised me.

Absolutely, and I really

have to get some work done.

Hey, what's the best place around

here to avoid interruptions?

The Espresso Caf is

quiet this time of day.

Is their coffee as good as I remember?

Your memory won't let you down.

Thanks.

Great.

It was really nice to meet you.

We'll see you around town, I'm sure.

- Bye.

- Bye.

So, uh,

Gwen tells me that you're

looking for a babysitter job.

That's right.

I've, uh, sort of been in

limbo the last couple of years.

I grew up here, so I moved back,

thinking that getting back to

my roots might help me figure out

what I'm supposed to do with my life.

What did you study in school?

Well, I should've listened

to everybody when they told me

an art degree was a sure-fire

ticket to the unemployment line.

Just because you love

something doesn't mean

you're supposed to chase it as a career.

But I've always loved kids, and

so I started babysitting part time.

Hmm. I think you're the

perfect fit for the job.

It's settled.

Okay. What can I do for you, Lori?

I just, I don't understand

why I got a C on the last assignment.

I got A's all throughout high school.

I was in the National Honour Society.

I think you must've mixed up

my assignment with someone else's.

Oh, yes.

Well, um, I'm sorry you're

disappointed with your grade.

But there is more to writing

a story than just assembling

the facts. I'm looking for depth. Passion.

A unique point of view.

But if I get a C in your class,

I'll lose my academic scholarship.

And I can't afford to be

here without that help.

That's not my problem, Lori.

Your next assignment

is due Friday the 25th.

That's a week from now.

Alicia Quince.

No, not interrupting anything.

What can I do for you?

Thank you.

Phew!

- Good morning, Martha.

- My, my.

Your new window display is

really something, Cassie.

You certainly have a way

of conjuring up the season.
