I don't own any of the characters. But the plot is mine.
Morgan walked into Practical magic for the first time in weeks, ever since Cal had tried to kill her in his dark room Morgan had tried to stay away from all magic. She'd not gone to any coven meetings and hadn't spoken to Hunter. Hunter, being such an English gentleman respected her requests for about a minute before stalking her. She'd known he was there but thankfully for her he'd kept his distance. He'd just stayed outside her house for endless hours and watched her… you know the normal. But this had given her a feeling of security knowing that Hunter was so close. Cal still hadn't been caught and Hunter was sure he was going to come back for Morgan. Hunter knew that if this happened he would probably lose the one person he had ever loved, even if that person did despise him.
Morgan glanced around the store until she found Alyce's friendly face.
" Morgan, how are you?" Alyce asked, her motherly instincts rising up to the surface. Morgan looked back into Alyce's friendly face and smiled.
" I'm great, I'm ready to come back to magic. I just had to take a break, you know." Morgan said as Alyce nodded knowingly.
The doorbell ringing made them both turn around to see who had entered the shop. There stood a tall blonde Englishman, his handsome face was for once in a smile.
" Hunter," Morgan whispered, just the sound of his name brought her out in goosebumps.
" Morgan, glad to have you back," he said smiling at the improvement in her. She was now ready to embrace her magic after the fearsome episode with Cal, which would have left some people in mental breakdowns. Alyce left the room leaving the two of them to catch up.
" Are you ok now?" he asked taking a step towards her.
" I'm fine, don't worry," she replied looking up into his eyes.
He took another step towards her and slowly brought his hand up to stroke her face.
" You had us all worried when you didn't come to the coven." He whispered. Morgan had to look away then the intensity of his stare and the closeness of the two of them was going to her head. She looked out of the window and her eyes came to rest on someone. His light brown skin glistened in the morning sun. His eyes looked deep into hers in shock and hurt.
What about us? She heard him say to her. Morgan just gaped in shock at the sorry excuse for a man that stood just a few feet from her.
" Cal," she whispered.
