“You’re too good to me,” I whispered, not knowing what else to say.
Edmund smiled.“It’s what you deserve.Can we leave today?”
“That soon?”I murmured.
“Write your family a note,” he said.“I’ll pack my things.”He was up the stairs before I had time to consider.His eagerness only embarrassed me—his time here must’ve been awful.
Everything was moving so quickly.
Ihadleft Witch Village abruptly once before.Maddox had said he wanted to stay and investigate, but I didn’t think I could stand being here for another second.Hardly anything good had come of this visit.If anything, I seemed to have lost my only ally, Christabella.
I felt like a failure.So why bother staying?
Part Three: The Charmwitch Seamstress
Dear Christabella,
I hope you find this letter before Ma.I’ve gone back aboveground with Edmund.He misses home, and he has a business venture he wants my help with.I don’t think I will come back to Witch Village again.There’s nothing for me there.If you want to leave, come find me at the hotel across Blanche de Clare.
I’m sorry.
Forever your sister,
Giselle
Dear Maddox,
I’ve gone back with Edmund.Don’t get killed.
Giselle
