Good Witch Willow is unhappy at me for keeping her waiting. This is made
obvious by the way she glares up at me through her wire-rim glasses while
tugging on one of the crystal pendants around her neck. Like it is going to
take help from beyond to stop her from slapping me silly or something.
“Lilah,” says my best friend with much patience, “why are you like
this?”
“I don’t know.”
“Just ask her a question already.”
Rebecca (not Becca or Becky) does have a point. It’s not like I haven’t
known this moment was coming for weeks now. She wanted to do
something fun for her birthday and every other entertainer had already been
booked. A lot of birthday parties in March, apparently. Guess everyone has
sex in the summertime.
The private room at the back of the bespoke cocktail bar off Santa
Monica Boulevard is close to capacity and a song by Hozier plays over the
speakers. We stand at one of the tall round bar tables with the remains of a
charcuterie board and a flickering tea light in a vintage jar. The walls are
painted a bright turquoise, but the vibe is relaxed. It should be a great night.
I want it to be for my friend’s sake. But I am anxious and distracted and not
in the mood at all, dammit.
“I honestly don’t have one,” I say. “I’m sorry. I told you this wasn’t my
thing.”
Rebecca groans and downs more than a mouthful of her whiskey sour.
It’s her party, she can self-medicate if she wants to—and apparently, she
does.
“What do people normally ask?”
Good Witch Willow is older with white skin and long gray hair in a
braid. She’s exactly what I imagined a witch would look like when I was a
child. A dramatic long lace dress and plenty of chunky jewelry. Instead of
answering me, she glances at her smartwatch and announces, “That’s your
two hours up. I’m out of here.”
Rebecca gives me a look.
Good Witch Willow wastes no time, packing her tarot cards, a travel-size
crystal ball, and a collection of brightly colored crystals back into her large
velvet tote.
“I’m sorry,” I say to Rebecca for the second time. “Though your work
bestie hogging her for over forty minutes to ask about his fantasy football
team didn’t help. And your neighbor that needed that emergency love
potion. I wonder if she’ll actually manage to find Keanu Reeves and
persuade him to drink it.”
Rebecca just raises her brows.
“You have to give it to her, it’s a beautiful dream,” I say. “But my point is
you, my friend, are popular. There are a lot of people here. The chance of
Good Witch Willow getting around to everyone was always going to be
low.”
“Just admit you’re all up in your feelings about your boyfriend again.”
“I am worried about Josh.” I take a sip from my gimlet. “He said the
headache was really bad, that it was messing with his vision.”
“That actually doesn’t sound good,” she reluctantly agrees.
“Yeah. I really think he needs to see a doctor, but you know what dudes
are like.”
