Ch 16

Two days later Kerrie headed back to Boston. Much to Mike's dismay he didn't see her and it was his fault for not making a move. Every case he started working on he wondered about her. Pretty soon it had been two months. Mike had stopped by Vicki's office and was surprised to see Coreen not there.

'She's in Boston for the weekend. The girls went to some Pagan Pride event.'

'Oh.'

'Your still thinking about her.'

'Vicki, don't start please. I already feel like a fool, I'm acting like a goofy 16 year old about the whole situation.'

'Coreen mentioned that Kerrie had quit her job and was coming up here in a few weeks.' Vicki said looking over some notes. Mike took a seat as Vicki started going over to her new case.

Back in Boston... Coreen and Kerrie were sitting in the hotel at a workshop on candle magick. Coreen was happily taking notes while Kerrie looked out the window not really learning anything new. After that workshop they had a break for lunch before Kerrie was going to present a workshop on spirit communication.

'This has been a great day. Why can't college be like this?'

'College is like this. I feel like I've heard all of the same things over and over again.' Kerrie mumbled sipping her water.

'I'm sure your workshop will be the best. Are you really going to have a circle?'

'If everyone is willing, if not then I'll pick a few people for a demonstration.'

'I can't believe that your going to do palm readings all day tomorrow. I'm going to be so bored.'

'I'm sure you'll meet plenty of new and exciting people. I think Danny is going to stop by.' Kerrie said with a smirk.

'Really? Should I tone it down a bit, I don't want to scare him off.'

'Just be yourself.'

At the workshop everyone wanted to do the spirit circle. By the end of the workshop everyone was lined up with personal questions. Coreen helped out by taking down people's questions and contact information for Kerrie to get back to them. After everyone cleared the room Kerrie sunk down in her chair.

'That was so freaking awesome.' Kerrie said with a smile as Coreen nodded.

'Everyone loved you. I'm sure all of those people will be wanting readings with you tomorrow.'

'I better rest up then.'

Coreen was right, the next day Kerrie had a line of people waiting for her readings most of the day. She was even offered a part time position at a shop in Salem until she moved.

On Monday Coreen flew back to Toronto and walked into Vicki's office with her notebook in hand going over her notes.

'How was your weekend?' Coreen asked dropping her things at her desk.

'Quiet, I followed the cheating husband but he only went to the to the bar with friends. How was Boston?'

'So much fun. I learned a lot and had a great time.' Coreen showed Vicki her notebook.

'That's good, I left two phone numbers on your desk. Both of them want to come in tomorrow to talk about new cases.'

'Ok, I'll get to it.'
