“Oh, okay. What brought you back to Salem?”
I pulled out a vase, put the flowers in it, and walked into the dining room to set them on the table. Sarah stood there with a glare on her face.
“Don’t look at me like that!” I said. “I had no idea Lucas asked him over for dinner.”
Crossing her arms over her chest, she shot daggers past me at either Lucas or Matt. I wasn’t sure which one she was currently madder at.
“I’m leaving!” Sarah hissed.
“You are not. Just give the guy another chance, Sarah.”
“Why! He was rude to me, and he clearly doesn’t like me.”
I let out a small bark of laughter. “Please, the sexual tension between the two of you is off the charts.”
Her mouth dropped open. “I’m sorry?”
Leaning in, I lowered my voice. “He was your first kiss, huh?”
She blushed, her cheeks turning pink.
“You liked him!”
She blinked rapidly at me. “When I was thirteen, Hollie!”
I rolled my eyes, grabbed her hand, and pulled her back toward the kitchen. We walked in just as Matt was finishing telling Kristin why he’d moved back to Salem.
“Sarah?” Matt said, his voice a mix of happiness and displeasure.
With a jerk of her head, Sarah replied with a cold, “Matt.”
All eyes bounced between my sister and Matt. Clearing my throat, I said, “Lucas, Matt brought a bottle of wine. Why don’t you have everyone go take a seat and pour them a glass while I get everything ready?”
As everyone made their way out of the kitchen, I took hold of Kristin and pulled her to me. In a low voice, I said, “We need to talk.”
“About?” she asked, one brow raised in question.
“I need your help with a spell.”
Her eyes lit up. “If it’s to get Matt and Sarah together, I’m all over it!”
“No!” I said, angry with myself that I hadn’t made that spell yet. “It’s for Lucas.”
Kristin took a step back. “The last spell you put on him nearly killed him!”
“I’m a better witch now!” I said as I turned to take the bread out of the oven.
Folding her arms over her chest, she scoffed. “Oh, from all the years of practice. Oh wait, it hasn’t even been a year yet.”
I gave her a slight push toward the dining room. “Go make sure Matt and Sarah don’t kill each other.”
She pouted. “You really are no fun now that you’re pregnant.”
Pointing to the dining room, I growled, “Kristin!”
She lifted her hands in surrender. “Fine. But I don’t know when I became the babysitter around here.”
