"Sabrina!"
Sabrina snapped to attention.
"Darling are you okay? I've about said your name three times," Hilda said looking at Sabrina with concern.
The Spellman's were in the front yard of their dwelling. Sabrina had been standing there thinking about her conversation with Ambrose. A gust of wind rustled the nearby trees.
"Aunt…Hilda, yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking."
"Are you sure Sabrina?"
"Yeah…I'm fine."
Hilda still looked worried but headed back into the house.
The word 'fine' rung in Sabrina's head. Was she telling herself the truth? If she was what was this feeling churning within her?
Ambrose and Harvey meticulously lowered the head of the Krampus Statue onto its body. Harvey tightened a few screws with a wrench and stepped back next to Ambrose to look over the statue.
They both looked impressed. Harvey perked up with a thought and rushed to grab a nearby remote.
"You ready?" Harvey asked
"Ready," Ambrose replied.
Harvey pushed the button and the eyes of the Krampus statue lit up a glowing red that was bright even in the day lit shed. Ambrose grinned widely and began to clap in accomplishment.
"It's awesome," Harvey said looking to Ambrose.
"Very."
The two grabbed a tarp and tossed it over the statute. Ambrose bit his lip with hesitation and took a deep breath.
"If…you're not too tired. I was thinking we could celebrate with a bit of a hike. I brought a few sandwiches along just in case."
Harvey considered it and said, "Yea that sounds cool actually."
Within twenty minutes Harvey and Ambrose were already at the top of the hiking trail. A large dirt trail cleared out to a scattering of rocks and boulders. Trees of various kind surrounded them.
Ambrose sat on a large grey rock and pulled out a few sandwiches. Harvey joined him. They looked down to see all of Greendale, it back lit by the setting Sun.
"So the Ball is in two days huh?" Harvey said taking a bite of his Sandwich.
"Yes two days, me and Sabrina having been cramming but it's coming together," Ambrose replied.
Harvey nodded while Ambrose began to freeze up. His breathing slowed and he struggled to get it back to a regular rhythm discreetly. The thought of revealing his feelings squeezed him like a psychic snake.
"Ambrose…are you okay?" Harvey asked smiling but with a tinge of concern.
"I….Harvey I believe I have feelings for you."
Harvey stopped chewing. He chuckled but stopped when Ambrose maintained his nervous stricken face.
"Are you serious...," Harvey asked slowly.
Ambrose could only nod.
Harvey smiled, "I think I like you to."
Ambrose quickly looked to Harvey, his warm smile was beaming.
Their eyes met. An electric plasma danced between them.
"Did…I hear that right Kinkel?" Ambrose asked.
Harvey laughed, "Yes."
Ambrose slowly bit his lip and said, "Can I…kiss you?"
Harvey gave a soft nod.
Ambrose leaned in. Slowly, softly, their lips met. Warmth danced through them. They let the kiss linger then returned to each other's gaze.
Ambrose began, "I'm worried-,"
"about Sabrina…," Harvey finished.
Ambrose nodded.
"We can tell her, I know she'll understand," Harvey explained.
"I already told her...,"
"And?"
"She seemed okay with it."
Harvey smiled, "and you're still worried?"
Ambrose smiled, "I don't know…maybe it's just this…this was hard."
Harvey cupped Ambrose's face with his hand and rubbed it with his thumb.
"It sounds like we're alright."
Sabrina, expressionless, flipped the page of a Spell book. The Spell called for rose petals as a final ingredient which Sabrina already gathered. She tossed them into the small boiling pot that already contained willow root, pearl dust, cinnamon and ashes of oak. After letting the pot cool off a bit she messily poured the contents into a wood vial.
Capping it closed she reviewed the Spell one last time.
The spell was the conteram seorsum Spell. Used to break up the romance between two people.
Sabrina brought the vial to her red painted lips and said, almost purring:
"Break up Harvey and Ambrose and keep them apart."
