I want to argue with him, with all of them. But I don’t know this new world like them. I have to trust that their knowledge is correct, that they will keep me safe.

Ezra looks up from the envelope. “It seems safe.”

I don’t move toward the envelope and no one else does. The moment feels weighted, like the paper of the envelope when it thunked onto the table. Like this is the moment. The before and after moment.

You’d think it would have been when I found out witches are real, but no. It’s this moment instead. Before coven, and after coven.

Fielder looks at each of us before swearing and picking up the envelope from between Ezra and Gideon. He cracks the seal and then pulls out a single sheet of paper. Given the noise it made, I definitely thought there would be more than just one sheet.

His eyes scan the writing, his brow furrowing more and more as time passes. When he’s done, he looks up, his moss green eyes focused on me.

I shift under his perusal. “Well? Is it my acceptance letter to Hogwarts?”

The sickness attacks the brain. I don’t know much, but I know that.

In the wake of a pandemic that swept the world, I’m buried in the pain from the death of my father. It doesn’t help that my mother has moved on, moved up,moved meto a mansion on the other side of town. The welcome from my new step brother leaves something to be desired, his dislike of me clear.

I tell myself it’s only for a few months, just the summer until I can run away to college. But even then I won’t be able to escape Finn Lachlan’s dark gaze. He’s the star quarterback and golden boy at Palm De Rosa University, my school of choice.
