“It is another woman.”

“Yes, but she is you.”

Emily rolled her eyes. “I just want you to stop trying to save Lunita.”

“Is that what you think I am doing right now?”

“You surely aren’t trying to kill Lunita.”

I shuddered.

“You just flinched again.”

I gritted my teeth. “Am I to pretend like I do not love and accept the other part of you?”

“The psychotic killing part.”

“Enough.” I bared my teeth at her and pointed at Delphine. “We were talking about the dream-walking witch over there, not me.”

“Fine. Let’s get back on Delphine.”

“Yes.”

“I will make this clear. We are not leaving, until Lunita is gone, so pick out a casket and pour out some liquor for that bitch because she’s as good as dead.” Emily stormed off.

“What? Why would I pour liquor for her?” I glared at Emily. “And we were not done talking!”

Fortunately for my mouse, the sight of her fat ass moving under the soft fabric made me falter for a few seconds and forget what I was yelling about.

But, I got back to my rightful thoughts.

I need help with getting through to her.

I looked in the other direction and checked on Maxwell.

He had already taken out a joint and begun smoking at the edge of the garden. As soon as he spotted me looking his way, he shrugged.

Something is clearly wrong because even Maxwell and I are on the same page.

Delphine called out, “Come on! I am not done showing you both my little slice of paradise.”

I groaned and followed after Emily, still feeling uneasy about the situation.

Delphine stopped up ahead.

When Emily got to her, the woman began talking, but I couldn’t make out any of the conversation.

Trying to save Lunita? Why is she ignoring the fact that this woman is beyond terrifying?

I got to them.

Delphine beamed. “It’s important to me that my family cultivates this land.”

I do not care about this.

My blood boiled.

Delphine gestured towards a blue plant. “This is the Blushing Nightbell. When dusk settles, it unfurls its petals and illuminates the garden.”
