out of her hands and splatted against a nearby tree.
    Matt stared at the ghost cow. The damned thing had appeared out of nowhere and head-butted Natalie.
    The cow mooed.
    Natalie leapt behind Matt and clutched his shoulders. The cow snorted and pawed the ground.
    “Nice cow,” said Matt. “Good cow.”
    “Should we run?” asked Natalie
    “Yes. We should definitely run.”
    “We can hide in the minivan.”
    Matt took off in a sprint, Natalie close on his heels. They jumped into the back of the minivan and slammed the doors shut.
    “The universe doesn’t want me to have pie,” said Matt.
    “Well, at least the universe isn’t trying to kill you by cow.”
    They stared at each other, and Matt had an insane urge to kiss her. He’d tasted Natalie twice now, and wanted to do it again. And again. And again. Times infinity. He was attracted to her, damn it. He loved the cute little dip in her cheek and those nine freckles sprinkled across her nose. Oh, man. When had he counted her freckles?
    “Should we check to see if it’s gone?” asked Natalie.
    No, he wanted to say, we should stay in here and make out. He peered out the back door window. The cow had disappeared.
    “It’s safe,” he said, and managed only mild disappointment.
    Natalie popped open the door and looked around. “Let’s hurry.”

    T ILDA HAD CONVINCED her aunts to let Jenny and Kimmie spend the night. They were piled onto her bed looking at books Tilda had swiped from the witches’ library.
    “What is going on?” asked Kimmie as she leafed through Spellcasting and The Urban Witch. “Why are ghosts hitting on my mom?”
    “Because,” said Jenny, “you asked for dead guys. Ghosts are about as dead as you can get.”
    “I meant vampires,” said Kimmie.
    “Those are the undead,” said Tilda. She was reading the contents page from Witchcraft for Dummies . “There’s nothing in here about breaking love spells. You’d think that would be witchcraft one-oh-one.”
    “I thought love spells were among the no-nos,” added Jenny. “Like raising the dead or rigging the lottery.”
    Tilda nibbled her bottom lip. “Well, not exactly. I mean, we were talking about dating, not falling in love.”
    Kimmie closed the book. “We have to fix this. Quick.”
    “Maybe we should just ‘fess up,” said Jenny.
    “No!” Kimmie and Tilda yelled together.
    Jenny rolled her eyes. “Fine. What’s our plan of action?”
    “We shouldn’t have broken the circle,” said Tilda. “That’s probably how they got through in the first place.” She sighed. “We need to find a binding spell, call them back, and stick them into the otherworld where they belong.”
    “All right. Bookmark anything that fits the bill,” said Kimmie. “We have a lot of reading to do.”
    “Exactly how I like spending my Saturday nights,” muttered Jenny.
    Kimmie poked her best friend on the shoulder. “Shut up and read.”

    W HEN SHE PULLED into the driveway, Natalie felt exhaustion overwhelm her. Dawn was not that far away. She really wanted to take a hot bubble bath before she crawled into her coffin. Hah. Okay, it was a basement bedroom with no windows so the sunlight couldn’t get to her.
    Yawning, she exited the car and had barely shut the door when Matt pulled up in his black Jeep.
    “Thanks for sticking around to help,” she said as she opened the van’s back doors.
    “My pleasure.”
    Matt delivered the items from the minivan to the kitchen where Natalie put them away. Soon everything was done. Natalie offered Matt some iced tea, but he declined. They stood in the kitchen, listening to the clock tick, and Natalie wondered why Matt was still here. He could handle the sunlight, but she wouldn’t be able to keep her eyes open. Vampires pretty much died during the day.
    Natalie rubbed the back of her neck, refusing to look at him.
    “How about a shoulder rub?”
    Before she could say, no, Matt was behind her, his hands working magical circles. Kneading
