You can’t hide from me, you little bugger.” A bell rang out, and
Stella Aldren rose from her crouch behind the sales counter.
Customers were infinitely more important than a missing
inventory log—especially when she had no employees to help her, a bloodsucking mortgage, plus a hefty business loan to repay. She’d been late on
her last two payments.
Pushing her long auburn hair off her face, she slapped on a smile.
“Welcome to Broomstix.”
A tall, athletic teenager—Josh, if she believed the name embroidered on
his letterman jacket—stood inside the door, waiting for his eyes to adjust to
the store’s dim lighting.
Stella hated the fluorescent bulbs used in most retail spaces. Her wares
required a certain…ambience. So, she lit the store with dozens of candles—
battery operated so the fire marshal didn’t ride her ass.
“Wow,” the kid said after his pupils sufficiently dilated. “This place
looks amazing.”
“Thanks,” Stella said, a familiar glow of pride lighting her smile.
Her magic store operated on the ground floor of the seventeenth-century
house she bought and renovated two years ago. The shop floor was a
veritable feast for the eyes, if she did say so herself.
“My name’s Stella. Let me know if there’s anything I can help you
find.”
“Do you have anything on monsters?” Up to that point, the kid hadn’t
looked her way. When he finally did, he blinked, and his eyes widened.
His gaze traveled down Stella’s body, taking in her black lace dress and
corset that cut under her breasts and pushed them up to a ridiculous height.
What could she say? When you owned a magic store, you dressed the
part.
His gaze finally returned to her face, and she raised an eyebrow. The
tops of his ears flared so red they were visible even in the dim light.
Why men and boys always thought they were being subtle in their
ogling was beyond her, so she ignored his reaction and, instead,
concentrated on his question about monsters. It was an interesting one
because she had several ways to answer it.
Of course, she started with the most obvious option. In a town like
Salem, someone like her couldn’t be too careful.
“You mean a book on monsters?” Stella tucked her hair behind her ear
and tried to get a better read on the kid.
She couldn’t detect the scent of any magic—light or dark. Her nose
didn’t twitch. Not even a little.
“Yep. Like a book.” He forced his eyes back to the three walls of floorto-ceiling shelves that Stella kept jam-packed with books on myths,
witchcraft, and other supernatural mayhem.
“I’m sure I can help you out,” she said. “How much time do you have to
shop?”
“Not long. I’m visiting Salem with my family.”
He ran his hand along the rectangular table in the center of the floor. It
was piled high with magic tricks and fake crystal balls for Stella’s
nonmagical customers, mixed in with bundles of sage, special scrying
candles, and tarot cards for her more magical clientele.
