The Good Witch's Destiny Page #2

---

something doesn't mean

you're supposed to chase it as a career.

But I've always loved kids, and

so I started babysitting part time.

Hmm. I think you're the

perfect fit for the job.

It's settled.

Okay. What can I do for you, Lori?

I just, I don't understand

why I got a C on the last assignment.

I got A's all throughout high school.

I was in the National Honour Society.

I think you must've mixed up

my assignment with someone else's.

Oh, yes.

Well, um, I'm sorry you're

disappointed with your grade.

But there is more to writing

a story than just assembling

the facts. I'm looking for depth. Passion.

A unique point of view.

But if I get a C in your class,

I'll lose my academic scholarship.

And I can't afford to be

here without that help.

That's not my problem, Lori.

Your next assignment

is due Friday the 25th.

That's a week from now.

Alicia Quince.

No, not interrupting anything.

What can I do for you?

Thank you.

Phew!

- Good morning, Martha.

- My, my.

Your new window display is

really something, Cassie.

You certainly have a way

of conjuring up the season.

I noticed you've made

some changes yourself.

I'll let you be the first to know,

Martha's Sweet Beginnings is now

in the wedding planning business!

Oh, Martha, that's wonderful. Jake

and I loved what you did for us.

Well, I guess I'll head

back out into that heat.

85 degrees today and it's supposed

to hit 100 soon.

This awful heat has made the

leftover odour from that sewage leak

linger just a little longer

than I'd hoped. I've tried everything.

I actually have something that could

work for you. With your atmosphere.

This is a natural cleansing product

made from extract of crab apple,

which is used to fight unsightliness

and contamination. You can borrow it.

Does it work?

Just wait until the smoke clears.

Ooh.

Well, the only reason that

I'm even considering this

is I've literally tried

absolutely everything.

- How does it work?

- Well, you put

- one incense cone right in here.

- One incense cone in there.

Light it, and then direct the smoke

where the odour is most prominent.

I'm told that the energies work

on the principle of redirection.

Redirection. Well, as I said,

I'll try anything.

Thank you, Cassie.

- Oh!

- Martha.

Thank you very much.

- Jake.

- Hi.

What are you doing here?

Well, Middleton was having

one of its patented no-crime days

so I was looking for a diversion.

Thought you might need a security guard.

No, I mean, shouldn't

you be at the airport?

Well, Brandon's flight doesn't

get in for another three hours.

Brandon got on an earlier flight.

It arrives in one hour.

And you had no way of knowing that.

Well, I better get going. Looks like

we'll be home for dinner after all.

- Great.

- That's not gonna be any trouble, will it?

Trouble? Not for me.

Hi, can I get a ham and Swiss,

an egg salad, and a yogurt

for my little Lamb Chop here.

I'll just wait outside.

Mom.

Hi.

I've been trying to get a hold of you,

but every time I call your

phone goes right to voice mail.

George, this is my son, Drew.

Drew, this is my husband, George.

Hi.

I'm sorry I didn't come to the wedding.

I wasn't even sure if you got the

invitation, since I haven't heard from you.

I wanted to, but I just

had so much going on.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting you to.

After all, you haven't called or written

- in so long.

- Why don't we just leave it all behind us?

Everything is different

now. I've gotta show you

what I've been working on. Check this out.

That looks pretty sharp.

Oh, thanks. I designed it myself.

See, look, this dotted line

projects future stock prices

based on historical cycles. Mom,

when you see where this is going to

take me, you're going to be so proud.

This is the next big thing.

I hope it is.

This time.

Isn't this one plate too many?

Well, family takes up a lot of room.

Especially when it's so full of love.

How's school, Lori?

It's a lot different than

I thought it would be.

We're home!

Well, I hope we have

room for another guest.

- Ohh!

- Hey, Cassie.

Hi.

Thought I'd surprise you

and bring Tara for your birthday.

Thank you. Well, you're

just in time for dinner.

Thanks. Hey, Grace.

How's it going? I haven't

seen you in a long time.

- Here ya go.

- Thank you.

Well, it sounds like this break

came at just the right time.

Speaking of time,

that is my pumpkin walnut meringue.

I'll be right back.

So, it looks like

I have an internship lined

up for the spring semester.

Hey, congratulations. And in Nashville.

Uh... No, um...

I'll be living in Portland.

Oregon?

I got accepted into the university

for a master's in psychology.

It's one of the top

programs in the country.

A lot of music opportunities in Portland?

Well, I'll make my own opportunities.

I'm just so ready to be done with

school and start my real life.

I'm really,

- really lucky to have Tara by my side.

- Aw!

That's so romantic.

I'm just a little worried

that you two are getting

ahead of yourselves. To build careers,

it takes a lot of hard work and focus.

What's the problem, Dad?

Well, I...

I just hope you know what you're doing.

Well, I'm glad I set the timer!

I didn't want to leave

that in the oven too long.

It smells great, Cassie.

Everything has its perfect moment,

and you have to embrace it when you can.

Alright. Put one cone

in the incense burner.

Ugh! Three.

Three cones in the incense burner.

Uh-oh.

Oh no! No, no! Oh my!

Too much! Too much!

Door! The door! Out!

- Oh! Drew! So good to see you again.

- I need to talk to you.

And I need to talk to you!

Quick question. I have

been sourcing grass-fed beef

- for the entrees...

- Forget it.

Oh, well, they're closed on Sundays

so I really need to

square things up today...

No, just forget all of it.

I can't pay for any of it.

What? Oh, dear. What happened?

Well, you see this satchel I got

at the Bell, Book, and Candle?

Well, one of the pages of my contract

got lost in this secret pocket

and I didn't realize

and I signed the contract and ended

up signing away the rights to my app.

So much for giving Helen

the wedding of her dreams.

What is that?

Ugh! That's the worst thing

- I've ever smelled in my life.

- Oh my.

Oh, what a nightmare.

I never dreamed that Cassie

would actually give me

something that made things worse.

Yeah, yeah. Like this satchel she gave me

that ruined my business.

But what on earth happened?

It must've reacted to something in the air.

I've never even heard of

something like this happening.

You know, I could try a

different formulation...

Oh, please, Cassie,

I didn't ask for your help in

the first place. You offered.

And your help just made everything worse.

So you'll forgive me if I don't

welcome a new solution with open arms.

Martha, I'd never do anything

to jeopardize your business.

Well, then what went wrong?

I'm afraid I don't have an answer

for that.
