The Good Witch's Destiny Page #7

go through that again.

Losing Cassie like we lost your mother.

Hello? Yeah.

Okay.

No, no, okay. We'll be right there.

- What is it?

- That was your grandpa George.

He just got home to Grey House,

somebody's broken in and he thinks

they're still there. We should go.

Okay. Wait here.

Be careful, Jake.

Lori, when did you get here?

Brandon texted me.

I wanted to be with everyone.

Well, it's all clear. Follow me.

Everyone stay close.

This family will always stay close.

It's what we do.

Cassie!

I see we all arrived in

the same place after all.

What happened? Are you okay?

I've never felt better in my life.

What are you doing here?

I'm here for the same

reason as the rest of you.

Follow me.

Wow!

We're all here for my birthday party.

Cassie, this is amazing!

- Wow!

- It's beautiful, Cassie!

Cassie, when did you

have time to do all this?

I always have time for my family.

Life is taking us all

in different directions.

And that's as it should be.

But our family is strong.

When it matters the most,

we all find our way back to each other.

I love your costume.

What's a Halloween party without costumes?

There's something there for everyone.

Hey,

what happened to the people who wanted

to rent Grey House for the night?

It was you, wasn't it?

You planned this all along.

I may have planned my

birthday party, but...

the most important work

was done by my family,

being here together.

Thank you so much for

inviting me to this party.

I've come to think of

you as part of the family.

I really hope you can find that painting.

Ladies and gentlemen!

On the occasion of the birthday

of Miss Cassie Nightingale,

I present to you a sight

that you will never, ever forget!

Now you don't see it...

Now you do!

Where did that come from?

That was stolen from our home!

Not stolen. Just borrowed.

Mia, when I first found out

you weren't doing restorations

any more, I couldn't believe it.

I mean, it's your passion for

your art that's always inspired me.

So for you to get it back,

I had to do something.

I don't understand.

I brought the painting in to be evaluated.

At the museum.

Mia, they want to hire you.

Why would you do

something like this for me?

I can explain.

There's so much I need to tell you.

There's so much I need to

know. I thought you resented me

for leaving you behind.

Well, it felt like that at the time.

I mean, you were in Italy, I was here.

I blew all my money on a bad business deal.

And the truth is, I couldn't

afford to go to Italy.

I just didn't have the heart to tell you.

I wouldn't have cared.

I know that now.

That's the worst part of it.

Maybe it doesn't have to be.

You know, Cassie helped me realize

that all my life I've

been chasing these dreams

and illusions,

when really, what I needed

was right here in Middleton.

With you.

- Martha! I'm so glad you could come.

- Thank you.

I'm getting all kinds of

inspiration from your decorating,

you know, in case one of my clients wants

some unconventional touches

at one of their events.

Well, as long as you're

having some fun, too.

Speaking of business...

I took it upon myself to clear

things up with your landlord.

How did you do that?

Well, as you well know,

my Tom plays golf with the fire marshal.

I just can't believe that that

painter could be so careless

as to leave behind a

turpentine-soaked rag in this heat!

Well, everyone makes mistakes, Martha.

Yes, we do. I mean, they do.

I mean, you know, people do.

Anyway,

I may have gone just a tad overboard.

You, Martha? Never.

- Hi, guys.

- Drew.

Um, lawyer called.

He was able to help you out after all.

He got your contract nullified

and was able to negotiate

an even better deal.

Wow. Thank you.

I guess that satchel did me

a favour after all, didn't it?

I'm so happy for you.

You've found a way to

create your own success.

Yeah.

I'm really happy that the deal worked out,

but I think I got something better.

Look, this may sound crazy,

but losing everything might have been

the best thing that ever happened to me.

How, Drew?

Because I finally had

to take responsibility

for all the poor decisions

I've made in my life.

And by blaming others,

I was just driving away

everybody who ever loved me.

Cassie got her party,

and I got my son back.

- She was so good.

- There you go.

The Grey House is such a

seasonally appropriate choice

for a Halloween themed

party, don't you think?

I hope you'll put it on

your wedding venue list.

Ooh! Done and done.

- Thank you.

- I'll be right back.

You know, on your birthday, you're not

supposed to do things for other people.

You're supposed to get

pampered and get gifts.

Having all of you here is the

greatest gift I could ever dream of.

Well, it turns out I was able

to get you something else.

Edward Whymark? I've never heard of him.

Yes, you have. When "he" was

Elizabeth Merriwick. It was her pseudonym.

She was a prolific writer

until the day she died at age 78.

So you found her?

She wrote in her diary about a

man who was trying to stop her

and I thought it was Andrew Whymark,

but it was her father.

He didn't think women should be writers.

So what does Andrew

Whymark have to do with it?

Well, that's the romantic part.

They ran away together to

get away from her father

so she could continue

her career as a writer.

She reinvented herself

in a small town in Texas until

she was able to make a home

with the man she loved,

just like you and Dad.

They lived a long, happy life together.

Oh, Lori.

Sounds like you have

all the material you need

for a great article.

I think my scholarship is safe.

Your family really knows

how to have a good time.

Yeah. Cassie makes every moment special.

What are you guys doing in here?

Just talking about how happy we are.

We have big news.

You tell them.

Well,

you were right about finding

the perfect moment, Cassie.

So Tara and I had a long

talk and we set a date.

- June 22nd.

- Well, that's, that's...

- Two years from now.

- That's great.

That is great.

That gives us plenty of time

to have the best wedding you can imagine.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

I think what Cassie meant

about the perfect moment

was that it might last a lot

longer than just one instant.

And we have our whole lives together.

You two are gonna make

each other very happy.

And I'm sure Martha will be

getting a hold of you soon.

Oh, this has been the

most perfect birthday.

You know,

it's incredible, Cassie. Just

when things seem to be going wrong,

you have a way of making

everything turn out just right.

Life with you

is... magic.

The real thing.

This is my perfect moment.

It began the day we met,

and I don't need magic to know

that it will never end.
