Part Two: The Witch from Witch Village
Dear Alexander,
I know we haven’t spoken in half a decade, but would you be willing to open your home to me and two other guests?Before you say no, your grandfather already agreed.I presume he will fill you in on the rest of the details.
Your old friend,
Giselle

Edmund de Clare’s carriagepulled up sleek and black before Miriam’s shop, the groomed horses and elegant silver hardware starkly out of place in the homely street.It surprised me to see that he had brought only three suitcases, one of which was for his hat.Maddox packed light as well, bringing only one suitcase.I, luckily, had my bottomless bag.
After Edmund dismounted, Miriam welcomed the three of us inside her shop.Today, she was draped in pink and fuchsia shawls.
