“Me want some,” I said, getting up.
The back room looked like a magic shop. In the middle stood a long wooden table with chairs. The walls were lined with shelves. One small shelf contained tableware, and the one next to the door was stacked with journals, books, and folders, but the rest were stuffed with glass jars filled with herbs and powders, different shapes of crystals, and bottles with oils and other strange looking liquids. There was also an old-fashioned cupboard in the corner where Gran kept tarot cards, bundles of sage, candles, and a few different-sized chests that held something of magical value and were always locked.
My skin hummed from the atmosphere in the room, and I wished I was already a witch. But I wasn’t. My magical powers hadn’t kicked in yet.
With a sigh, I pulled out from the shelf three mugs, filled them with coffee, and headed back.
Gran treated us to dinner at a nearby restaurant after we closed the store. It was pretty late when we got home, and I spent the rest of the evening in preparation for the first day of school.
When I finally got into bed and reached for the lamp to turn it off, a notification lit up my phone where it lay on the nightstand.
It was my mom, telling me that since I didn’t reply to the previous two messages, she asked Gran about my day, and she missed me.
I glanced at the framed photograph on my nightstand of me with my mom and dad. Then I sent her a heart emoji, said sorry and that I missed her too.
