Chapter 25 -- Better Tea Than Jackie
"You know, I've decided...this tea is a lot better than Jackie's."
"Thanks. I think."
"Who's Jackie?" Kyra asked.
"Rose's mother."
"Ah."
"Ah, the girls are here. Kyra, I need you to go upstairs. Third door on the right. Light sage to help clear your mind. Sage is --"
"Live with a witch. Know my incense."
"Good girl. Up you go. I'll get the supplies. You, Doctor, wait outside." She put a hand on his arm as Kyra went up the stairs. "She's very afraid. I don't have to touch her to know that."
"If it's all right with you, I'd actually like to watch."
"Can't. It'll disturb the girls. Once the magic starts coming, they'll recognize you're not human."
He frowned, and she grinned. "Is this curiosity, or more of that Daddy stuff?"
"Mostly curiosity."
"Take your curiosity outside. Listen to the chanting."
"Hmm. OK."
"Hope you speak Latin."
"Really not an issue."
