The Good Witch's Wonder Page #6

By Brandon and Aunt

Beverly,

the two people I care about

most, and... it hurts.

Sometimes, when Jake

and I have troubles,

I go to a quiet place and

remember how it all began.

All the reasons

we fell in love

and all the reasons we love

each other now more than ever.

It's hard to remember

the good memories right now.

Then that's the best time

to make new ones.

I brought you some of my homemade

almond cookies dipped in chocolate.

I call them Harvest Moons.

I think you'll like them.

We have similar tastes.

Thank you, Cassie.

How long have you

been running?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Audrey, I came here to

listen.

A long time.

And I'm tired of running.

That's why you're here,

safe but lonely.

I married Grant.

He was such a great guy

at first.

But then he started

telling me who I could see,

and where

I could go.

Eventually he didn't

want me going anywhere,

and when I did, he got very,

very angry.

So, I went out

anyway.

Far away

as I could go.

I tried to change my name

and...

He found me.

He always

finds me.

I wish I could just

disappear.

But then I wouldn't be

able to see you.

The reason that I stole those

things is because he threatened me,

and you.

He promised me a way out.

He lied.

You need to tell Jake

everything you just told me.

The police do not see that

side of him. They are no help.

Jake will help. We all will, working together.

You don't understand,

Cassie.

He's a dangerous man.

He will come after me.

He always does.

No matter where I go,

he finds me, and he will

come after you and your family

if you get in his way.

- I'm not afraid.

I won't take that chance.

I'm safer here.

We all are.

I've done enough damage.

Not to me.

Just the opposite. Audrey,

I'm better for

knowing you. A friend

is someone who understands

you, who listens to you.

Someone who is there for you.

You were all those things for me

this past week. I just

hope you'll let me

repay the favor.

One friend to another.

Hang in there.

It's gonna get better.

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo! Mr. Dressel!

I have to apologize for canceling your catalogue.

- No harm done.

Oh, I wish that were true.

I'm really sorry

about your fundraiser

and your park.

It was really nice

having met you.

And to think we had all the

money we needed all along.

How so?

One of the items that was

stolen, that little wooden doll?

Mr. Tyler,

our museum curator, saw all of

the auction items when they were

It's a Kachina Doll.

So?

A hand-carved Hopi

Indian Kachina Doll.

Apparently

a rare one.

He says it could be

worth up to $50.000.

Of course, Cassie had no

idea. And now it's gone,

likely forever.

Can you imagine?

$50.000

would have paid

for all of the Middleton

Botanical Gardens.

Brandon.

Tara?

How'd you know I was here?

I didn't.

I was just thinking about

what Cassie told me, and...

I don't know,

I just...

wanted to go to a quiet

place and think about us,

how this

all started.

Then I remembered

it all started here.

This is where

I proposed to you.

Sorry, did I interrupt

your phone call?

I was about to call

the music company.

I'm going to walk away

from this tour.

You can't

give that up.

Brandon, every time you talked

about that job, you were so excited.

I was more

excited about us.

About starting

our lives together.

That's why I wanted

to rush this wedding.

The tour means nothing

to me without you.

Are you sure?

I've never been more sure

about anything in my life.

Tara,

will you marry me?

Tara, if you want a more

traditional wedding,

I'll find some way to do it.

Even in a day and a half.

I'll do it.

I think as long

as we're together,

we can do anything.

I'm glad the wedding's

back on.

It'll be fun.

Even if I do go alone.

You'll find him, Lori.

- Who?

The right one.

Yeah, but when?

You just have to picture

that it will all work out.

Oh, that reminds me.

My pictures for the article. I have

to pick them up from the lab tomorrow.

Oh, hello,

Mr. O'Hanrahan. How is Grace

enjoying her break?

- I decided to use the time

to go over a few

of the basics with her.

I bet she enjoyed that.

- I'm not so sure.

Well, Grace is a very loving

child, and eager to learn.

She gets it from her

parents.

Not just her parents.

Let me show you something.

Here.

- Grace drew this?

Mm-hmm.

Is that supposed to be me?

She has a very high

opinion of you.

I'm in a lot of these.

- Mm-hmm.

Fishing, hiking,

fixing her bike.

I had no idea.

Looks like you've shared a lot of

things she thinks are worth drawing.

And I have a feeling

you will always be

a big part of her life.

Thanks for these.

Don't thank me,

thank the artist.

You know, I only want

what's best for her.

Of course, so do I.

You know, your method,

with fun and freedom,

is what's best

for her right now.

I found out that

she learned a lot from you.

Well, the best teachers are always

learning from their students.

Funny. That's exactly

what her mother told me.

Cassie.

Come in.

You must be the curator.

- Yes.

Grant Dressel.

- Hi.

Thanks for agreeing to see me on a Saturday.

- Did you bring it?

Oh...

oh my...

Yes?

- Yes, indeed.

It's authentic. You can tell

that it's been carved

from a single

block of wood.

How much do you

think it's worth?

I'd say 15 to

20 years in jail.

You're under arrest.

Great job, thank you.

This week has been

a blur all right.

Hey, it's Lori. Is Jim

there?

Are you kidding? When?

But why would he quit?

Yeah.

What a glorious

turn of events.

I can hardly believe it.

- Well,

there's one person who never

stopped believing in me...

A lot of people here

played a part.

Especially Martha.

Job well done,

Madame Mayor.

I could say

the same about you.

Oh, and I will.

Very well done, Chief.

I must say that it was a

very clever scheme on my part.

Our part.

You know,

despite your differences, you two

really came together on this one.

We sure did. We were like

a magnetic force.

Who'd a thought?

When Martha told Grant that the

Kachina Doll was worth 50 grand,

we knew he couldn't resist.

But weren't you worried that

he would make off with it?

Audrey, this doll Cassie

gave me is a flawed replica.

Cute, but worth less than $15.

- I'd say it was worth

more than that.

It put Grant behind bars,

and it bought

Audrey her freedom.

And now you can have your auction.

- We will,

but obviously not today.

Gentlemen, come with me.

I want to take official inventory

of all that we've recovered. Come on.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say a

thing.

That's the beauty of real

friendship. You just know.

Still,

if there's anything

I can do for you, Cassie...

There is. There's lots to

do.

My son is getting

married tomorrow.

Jim?

You found me.

- I figured it was you

hiding behind Edgar Allan Poe.

- Yeah, well, like they said,

he was the master

of suspense.

And romanticism.

Did you know he was actually
