around her. The woman tensed, but that didn’t stop Chandra. “Oh, we must get these knots out of your shoulders and get you sleeping.” Chandra walked down the hall with the woman still curled in her arms. She glanced over her shoulder at me. “Thank you, June.” She winked.
    Chandra would do exactly what the woman needed. She would read her fortune and massage oils into her body. Obviously her grandmother had something she needed resolved from the afterlife and that was why she was continuing to wake her up in the morning. I also believed baby Rose never woke her mother because grandmother was probably soothing the baby. Unfortunately, I was sure I would see the young mother again because once Chandra revealed to her what the grandmother wanted, the grandmother would be at peace and baby Rose was going to have to be soothed by someone. The young mother.
    The day was turning out to be lovely. The temperatures never got too hot in Whispering Falls since we were settled in the foothold of the mountains in our tiny village.
    “I’m fine if you want to go on and go visit early with Eloise.” Faith encouraged me to go.
    “How did you know about Eloise?” I asked.
    “She put an article in the paper about your wedding shower.” Faith’s brows narrowed. “Didn’t you know about that? You didn’t hear the paper?”
    “I guess I didn’t.” Now that I thought about it, I didn’t hear the Whispering Falls Gazette delivered to me. Not even in a whisper. “Strange.”
    “Strange,” Faith’s voice trailed off. “And everything was okay at the factory?” She questioned with a lingering anticipation of my answer.
    “Not fine. Not even okay.” Now I was getting a little irritated. I was hoping to go to Eloise’s and throw her and Oscar a bone about the wedding. I really just needed time to get the new job under my belt before I made any wedding plans. I wasn’t good under pressure, witch or not. “But you don’t mind if I leave?”
    “No, as long as you are paying me.” Faith grinned.
    “Of course I am.” I grabbed Mr. Prince Charming off the counter and headed out.
    I drove the Green Machine back up to our little cottage on the hill overlooking Whispering Falls with Mr. Prince Charming up on the dash. I loved my little cottage. It had the most spectacular view of the village. Plus it was near The Gathering Rock where we had all of our village meetings and the woods were right behind me, giving me easy access to Eloise and my Aunt Helena.
    I didn’t see Aunt Helena much since she was the dean of Hidden Hall, A Spiritualist University, which was clear on the other side of the woods through a secret portal.
    She would definitely want to be included in my wedding plans since she was my only living relative.
    Meow, meow . Mr. Prince Charming batted the air between us as if he knew exactly what I was thinking.
    “You’re right. No time like the present.” It was all I had to say. He jumped off the dash, over me and out the door, darting around the cottage.
    He and I both loved going to see Aunt Helena and getting some time in the woods.
    I didn’t waste any time. I grabbed my bag and threw it over my head, hanging it across my body and took off in the direction of the secret portal.
    The sunlight darted through the tall trees in the woods and the scurry of animals’ footprints could be heard as we made our way through, breaking fallen branches under our feet. Every once in a while, Mr. Prince Charming would look back at me. Like a good fairy-god cat, he was making sure I was okay.
    Both of us stopped when we made it to the big wheat field, I knew we had made it to the portal. The wooden sign popped up out of the ground, fingers pointing in all directions. Each had a different school written on it pointing the way.
    Eye of Newt Crystal Ball School, Tickle Palm School, Intuition School, Wondering Wizard School, were just a few schools represented at Hidden Hall. I had attended Intuition School when I first
