They got their food and took it behind the office and sat under the trees to eat. They spent half the time laughing due to Miranda recounting some of her goofed spells. Like the day she wanted to remove a stain from her dad’s shirt and ended up removing all his clothes. Seeing as they had their elderly “human” neighbor over, it caused quite a stir. Especially because the clothes disappeared when he was bent over pulling a roast from the oven. Moments later, her dad had used two pot holders to cover the important parts. Della needed a laugh. Once or twice, she saw the temptation in Miranda’s eyes to bring up what Della had told her about Chase and the whole his-hand-her-hand thing, but the girl must have read Della’s “I’ll-kill-you” glare and bypassed that conversation. Della had no need to talk about that. Especially after Holiday’s little talk. Not that Holiday made her feel any different, but she didn’t want Burnett to get wind of anything and really start flipping out.
