No Shoes, No Shirt, No Spells (Mystic Cafe Series) - Plot & Excerpts
The sun was still sleeping when I went to work. By the time it became light outside, I’d already started serving customers. I’d arrived even earlier to prepare a pie for Rory. Part of my brain said: leave well enough alone. But the other part, the part I most often listened to when I shouldn’t, said: give it a shot! So I did. I measured off the flour and dumped it into the big stainless steel bowl. Then I added salt before cutting in my eggs, water, and vinegar. I’d make a couple pies for customers and a special one for Rory. Rolling out the dough put me in a slightly hypnotic state. It was therapeutic, and I needed that more than anything at that moment. After preparing the other pies and placing them in the oven, I was ready for Rory’s special pie. The back door rattled, and Mary Jane stepped into the kitchen. “You’re here early,” I said. “I thought I’d find you here. I came to help you.” “Help me with what?” I played dumb. “The magic, of course.” She gestured toward the book on the shelf.
