The Good Witch's Gift Page #2

Oh, my dear Gwen.

I thought you were joking!

Oh, Martha?

Oh, hello, Mr. Mayor.

- Gwen.

- Hello, dear.

I love my new gavel! A

little present to myself.

Martha, walk with me a minute.

Oh, well, you'll have to walk quickly.

I'm late for my mani-pedi.

Martha, this isn't easy for me to say.

I just finished talking

with our business manager.

- It's about our real estate investments.

- What about them?

They failed.

What do you mean?

We've lost everything.

- Not the Orlando condo?

- Everything.

Martha, we're broke. All our money is gone.

How can that be?

We're not destitute. I still

have my mayor's salary, our house.

But there will have to be some changes.

Oh, Tom...

You know how I hate changes!

Well, for a start...

you have to get a job.

A jo...

- What about the Citizen's League?

- A paying job.

Until we get back on our feet.

I don't understand! How

could this have happened?

What's happened to a lot of people.

We'll pull through.

And we'll talk more tonight, okay?

Oh, and Martha?

Until further notice,

please do your own nails.

I wonder if we're going to get

a white Christmas this year.

- I hope not.

- How come?

I mean, why waste a perfectly good snow day

when we're going to be off school anyway?

Think the stores will

be open after the movie?

Maybe.

I want to get my mom

something different this year.

Any ideas?

A snow shovel?

Hello, Jake.

- Hi, honey.

- Hi.

What a nice surprise.

Well, speaking of surprises,

- I've got one for you.

- Hmm!

- Have a seat.

- Okay.

I got your Christmas gift.

Jake, I already told you, you

don't have to give me anything.

No, you gave me this calendar,

and I've been looking at it,

and I decided one gift deserves another.

So this is the most exciting

gift that I can imagine.

Well, I could do with a little excitement.

My bed and breakfast gets

very quiet over the holidays.

Cassie...

I want to give you a family for Christmas.

What do you mean?

I mean let's get married.

I think I already said yes.

No, I mean now.

Jake Russell, when did

you get so spontaneous?

The day that I decided

you were the one for me.

Oh, maybe my personality

is rubbing off on you.

Come on, we've been trying

to set a date for this wedding

for months and something

always gets in the way.

What was the excuse last time?

Mercury in retrograde.

Okay, well, the calendar

that you gave me says...

"This is the perfect time

to forge new partnerships

and initiate long-term plans".

Does it really say all that? Hmm...

Jake, Christmas is only seven days away.

Not on Christmas.

On Christmas Eve.

Pull a wedding together in six days?

We'll get everybody to chip in.

Oh, so little time, so much fun.
