I STOOD IN FRONT OF my pole-built garage and guided Gabi, my longtime friend and newest boarder, as she backed her horse trailer up, glancing
to the driver’s-side mirror to make sure she could see me. I don’t know why
I bothered. That girl could back a bumper-pull a quarter mile down a curvy
country road and never drop a tire off the edge. Still, better safe than
dragging the gutters off the barn.
We’d spent the day estate-sale picking for my upcycle store,
Reimagined. I’d gone alone, but called and asked her to meet me with her
trailer at the second sale because I’d ended up buying more than I could fit
in my truck. I hadn’t expected that, since I’d learned my first weekend on
the hunt that sale ads were sort of like Facebook pics and dating websites:
Carrie Underwood or Ryan Gosling often turned out to be the Crypt Keeper
in real life.
Luck was with me, and that had only been the case at one sale. At the
next, I struck picker’s gold and called Gabi to see if she could meet me. I’d
picked up some real gems, including a curio cabinet that was begging to be
a rifle rack, and a settee I was going to reupholster and turn into a daybed.
Both pieces had been stuffed in the back of a barn for the better part of
fifty years under piles of God-only-knows-what, so I picked them up for a
song.
“Want some help unloading?” she asked as she jumped out of the cab
and pushed the door shut.
I shook my head. “Nah. I’ll unload it tomorrow if you don’t mind me
leaving it in your trailer overnight.” I’d save both my back and my toes and
unload them with just a couple fingers when I had the energy to do it. One
of the many advantages of being a witch.
Right then, though, my back was killing me from loading them. I’d
planned on lightening the load when we were putting them on the trailer,
but the guy who sold it to me took the gentlemanly route and insisted on
helping me instead of letting Gabi, who’s all of a hundred pounds soaking
wet, do it.
That left me lifting what equated to her weight in furniture, but I still
had to pull a little hocus-pocus after I dropped my end of the settee on my
toe walking it backwards into the trailer. With him holding the other end,
though, I wasn’t able to do too much without raising suspicion; after all,
they were supposed to be heavy.
She shrugged. “If you’re sure. I don’t mind helping. That settee and
cabinet are heavy.”
I waved her off, then wiggled my fingers at her.
“Ah,” she said, raising her brows. “Sometimes I forget about that. At
least let me help you feed, then,” she said. “You’ve gotta be as whipped as I
am.”
She had that right, so I motioned to the barn. “An offer I can’t refuse.
Let’s get ‘er done.”
In addition to running my little shop, I’d inherited Flynn Farm from my
aunt Addy when she passed.
