The Good Witch's Destiny Page #3

---

Well, until you do,

perhaps you should consider

keeping your magic to yourself.

In fact, I would prefer it

if you would stay out of

my business altogether.

That's so pretty.

Like a flower garden, only sparkly.

They all have different meaning.

Luck,

solving difficulties, creativity...

Do you have a minute?

Of course. Sit down.

I found this book at the library,

it talks about Elizabeth Merriwick.

The Grey Lady? Sounds intriguing.

I've always felt a strong

connection with my great-aunt.

It says she disappeared.

Vanished without a trace.

- I didn't know that.

- And if I find what I think I'm going to,

then I'll have my story

for journalism class.

I think you'll do a great job.

There is one other thing.

A weird coincidence.

It turns out that you and the

Grey Lady have the same birthday.

October 24th.

Well, then there's one more

thing to celebrate on Thursday.

Not exactly.

The 24th is also the day she disappeared.

Well, I hope my birthday

party isn't quite as exciting.

Sorry to bother you, George...

That's Mr. O'Hanrahan.

Right, of course, Mr. O'Hanrahan.

Just wondering if my mom is here?

Well, even if she was, I'm

not sure she'd want to see you.

It's just that...

I really need someone to talk to.

I got a fresh pot of coffee.

Why don't you come on in?

Gwen!

Where's George? I thought

you two were inseparable.

He likes to get a later

start on the day than I do.

I heard you met Drew.

Yeah, he was in the store on Friday.

I hope he didn't cause

you too much trouble.

Seems he's caused you

some worry in the past.

It's the way he is.

He never takes responsibility

when things go wrong.

He always looks for someone else to blame.

It sounds like your family

has quite a difficult history to overcome.

This is the first time

I've seen him in five years.

Which of these do you think would

look best in that magic display?

Right in the center, I was thinking.

This one.

Oh, aren't those beautiful.

Playing cards always remind me

of happy evenings with my family.

We'd make a big bowl of popcorn and play

hearts with the children all night long.

No matter what hand he was dealt,

Drew would always shoot the moon.

Drove us all crazy,

but I couldn't help but admire his moxie.

I'll take them.

I'll make you a deal.

So, how's that deal

going you were working on?

You didn't hear?

I signed away the rights

to my app and now I'm broke.

I hadn't heard.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, that's not the worst of it.

My fiance left me.

When I told her what happened,

she gave back the ring and said

she hoped I had a good life.

Well, if she can't stomach the tough times,

then she's not the right girl for you.

This Cassie,

she seems to get involved in

everyone's life around here.

Is she really what people say she is?

She's done some pretty amazing things,

things I can't explain.

You know, maybe you should pay her a visit.

You certainly have a lot going on in there.

Oh, it's such a lovely day, I

thought we could talk business

while taking a nice stroll.

Just to be clear,

I am meeting with other people.

This isn't just my wedding at stake,

I have to think of the

people who look to my magazine

to represent the very best in wedding chic.

I've been a subscriber

for years. I think I've

kept every issue since 1992.

Nobody knows your magazine better than I.

I'm looking for the total package here.

Everything needs to

radiate style and taste.

The delivery got rescheduled till tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm closing up

in about twenty minutes,

so why don't you bring Grace by here?

Thanks, Mia.

Drew. How did the satchel work out for you?

Not too well.

If I had anything left to

lose, I wouldn't be here.

Can I ask you something?

Did you know that this satchel

has a secret pocket?

It belonged to a magician,

- so I can see why...

- And did you know

that my fiance would leave me when

my business deal got screwed up?

There's no way I could have known that.

That's not what I hear.

I hear that you have special powers.

That the things you give to

people change their lives.

And I just want to know

why I got dealt a bad hand.

I think you have the wrong idea about me.

Well, then prove me wrong. Fix my life.

Your life isn't mine to fix.

I'm not buying this.

I tell you what.

If I get my life back, nobody loses.

But if I don't,

let's just say that I'm good

at making things disappear.

You sure are right about

this town being charming.

It's the kind of place that attracts

the right kind of person.

One day you'll lose something, and

then you'll know exactly how this feels.

In fact, I hope you do. I

hope you lose everything.

I am sorry I ever agreed

to get married in Middleton.

- I hate this town!

- Ha, ha, ha!

Things like this never happen in Middleton.

I-I-I'll take care

of it. I promise.

I'll be frank with you.

I don't like what I see.

Drew?

Are you okay?

My life is ruined, thanks to your boss.

Drew, not everything is

somebody else's fault.

I bet you're glad we went

our separate ways, aren't you?

It's a time in my life I'd rather forget.

Incredible. Everyone thinks

it's okay to just write me off.

Well, you know what?

I'm done being ignored.

Middleton is going to pay attention to me.

Hey, hon... Oh,

good, I was hoping to find you before I

had to head out again. How many pumpkins

do you think we need for

the party? What's wrong?

Read it.

Brandon and Tara eloped?

Keep reading.

"Tara and I are in love.

"It's like Cassie said,

this is our perfect moment

and we need to embrace it."

- Jake, I'm sure they'll realize that...

- Cassie.

You introduced them and you

gave them the idea to elope.

- We'll find them.

- No,

I'll take care of this on my own.

Motion carried.

And now on to the next item of the agenda

of this meeting of the

Middleton Citizen's League.

It seems that Middleton, at the moment,

is not the idyllic paradise

that we're all used to.

I suggest we start by addressing

the Bell, Book, and Candle.

My store? What about it?

You gave me a smoke bomb and

now my store smells like a skunk.

And Gwen, Gwen's poor son

is nursing a broken heart

and the death of all his hopes and dreams

all because you thought

that he might need a satchel.

You can't blame that on Cassie.

No one is assigning blame,

but honestly, Cassie, as mayor,

when will you learn that

Middleton is not the place

to dabble in the... dark arts?

It really does seem like both of us

would've been better off if

we'd never come to you for help.

You've given me a lot to think about.

I think that we will all

be doing a lot of thinking

between now and the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned.

How are you all holding up?

Well, I'm okay, but I know that

Jake is imagining the worst.

I'm still holding out hope that

Brandon will do the right thing.

You always see the good in people.

Thank you so much for offering

your vacation home for the party.

It's the perfect place

for everyone to celebrate.
