The Problem with Magic Chapter 11

I drove to the hotel. As tempting as it was to walk there and work off some of my anger that way, they did have a point that it could be dangerous to be out on the street. Even outside of the potential magical hitmen I might encounter, it was nearly midnight. So rather than […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 10

Ezra walked back in first. Maybe I was being a coward, but I needed a couple minutes to get my nerves up for whatever was going to happen next. I was still mad at Gretel too, even though maybe I didn’t deserve to be. This was such a huge secret to keep and I honestly […]

I staggered backward as Joel fell heavily against me. Ezra hurried to carry some of his weight and, together, we managed to get him into the house. “I’m through here,” I said, steering us toward my door. Gretel was walking through the kitchen as we came in, clearly on her way to check on me. […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 8

It was a burst pipe. Hours later, after the event room, plus all the surrounding rooms, had been evacuated and cleared of as many things as possible, the plumber came to us with the news. I had about twenty minutes left of my shift by this point, so I was standing at the reception desk […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 7

I hoped work would help distract me from what had happened, but the next morning I was out of sorts and dazed as I walked into the Landmark Hotel. The wedding was two days away and Reg was in the lobby when I arrived, two carts laden with foil trays behind him. “Good morning, Miss […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 6

Gretel had rushed home from work as soon as I reached her, telling me to call the police as she made her way back. She beat them by a few minutes. Now here we were, sitting close together on a small stone wall in front of the apartment building beside ours as the evening went […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 5

I woke up early the next morning, wanting to make sure I saw Joel before I left for work. One coffee and dinner wouldn’t fix everything, but this was Joel. And despite it all, I had truly loved him at one point in my life. So I didn’t want us to end on yet another […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 4

“So Joel, what brings you back to Salem?” Gretel was being extremely friendly to Joel, almost too friendly. At first, she’d been a little uneasy when I brought him back to the house. Which I appreciated, considering I’d told her everything that had happened between us before she and I met. The brief hardness in […]

Living with Magic Chapter 3

Joel’s smile was wide and seemingly sincere as he hurried over to where I stood, frozen just outside the automatic doors to the hotel. Before I could react, he scooped me into an enormous hug, squeezing me tightly as my hands fell limp by my sides. Despite years of thinking about exactly what I’d do […]

“Daria, a moment, please?” My boss, Angie, was leaning out the door of her office, gesturing for me to join her. I was sitting at my own desk, which was in the corner of a large conference room the hotel only used occasionally. The conference room was connected Angie’s office, giving her easy access to […]
