"Don't take this the wrong way, 'Landa, but I'm glad you took our name back."
She swatted at her little brother in frustration, eyes glinting. "I don't care what you think, Aldridge. I didn't do it for you."
"No, you did it for Johannah and Linda, and I'm grateful on their behalf. Also, that is exactly what I said not to do."
Her brother might be a fully self-sufficient wizard in his thirties and only five years younger than her, but he was still a scrawny idiot. She was just drilling this into his head with a well-place noogie when her only daughter entered the room, bouncing her own daughter in her arms.
"Mum," she said slowly, "what are you doing?"
Rolanda and Aldridge Hooch shared a guilty glance, cowing under the malicious glare of the witch who wasn't even twenty. Somehow, with Graham gone, the witch seemed particularly dangerous.
Wise of them, really, to fear their family.
