Adhan touches his shoulder. “There’s enough of us to get it done quickly.”
Sly nods and sits back down, just as Nix, Cam and Nora walk in.
Nora sits at the table while Nix and Cam help set the table and start bringing food over.
In no time at all, the table is full of food, and as we sit, Sal and Justice arrive.
“Evening,” they both say.
They get a round of ‘hellos’and sit down. Sal kisses Jude hello, before taking Connie out of his arms and chatting to her, sitting her on his lap.
Food gets passed around, and there is happy chatter around the table.
“How was the second viewing?” Cam asks us, cutting Nora’s food up for her.
“Even better than the first one. We had more time to look around, and the house hugged us again,” Xander tells him, before we can say anything.
I put the gravy jug down. “It is the perfect house, but there are things we need to discuss before we can make a firm decision.”
“That’s okay, take as long as you need to decide, and if you decide against it, that’s completely fine,” Adhan assures us.
“Enoch, do you want to come and see the injured animals tomorrow? Elaine and I are busy in the morning, but we’ll be at her house all afternoon. I promise Elaine is lovely, but I’ll be there to protect you the whole time,” Temp says, giving him a gentle smile.
Enoch looks at me, then Sly, looking hopeful if a little uncertain.
“I can come with you as well if you want,” I offer.
Enoch turns back to look at Temp. “Do you mind?”
Temp shakes his head. “I don’t mind, neither will Elaine,” he says, looking at me. “I’ll get your mobile number later and we can arrange everything.”
“Thank you for understanding,” I say to him.
“Seriously, think nothing of it. You don’t know the town or us, it’s all good,” Temp assures us.
I nod, glad he really does understand. I don’t expect any issues, but I want my brother to feel safe and relaxed.
“How are you feeling, Nora?” Justice asks her.
She swallows her bite of food before answering. “Okay. Nix gave me the tablets, and I slept like a lot, but my bad head is almost better.”
Justice nods. “Good, your colour is looking better as well.”
“Temp and Elaine gave Nora some healing this morning,” Nix told him, stroking her head.
“Good. I’ll give you some later as well.”
Xander looks confused. “Can you not fix her up properly?”
“We could, but a lot of people saw Nora get injured. We’ll make sure she heals up quickly, but it will still take a few weeks.” Justice replies, picking up his glass.
We finish eating and the table is cleared in a matter of moments, and cake and coffee are brought to the table.
“The plan for tonight is that all you witches are out and about tonight. Ernest and Justice are covering the Haunted Walk. Nix and Sal, you’ll cover the fair. Temp and Titus will cover the house. Sly, Ebby, where do you want to cover?” Adhan asks.
“We can do a general walk around the whole area if you want,” I say.
“Perfect, thank you. Brothers, we’ll be out and about in wolf form for the Haunted Walk and normally for the fair and the house. Cam, Sion, Cassie, can you stay here with Mum and the children?”
