Chapter 23

The Tuesday. After the dream, I didn't feel too rested. All I could think all day about was the evening. I will not pretend, I was nervous. I checked several times I put together everything I needed in a bad to take with me to work: several of the silver flowers to channel the magic, tea to ground me down. I was thinking over and over if I didn't need anything else, but what that would be? Jonathan would be there and, hopefully, we would have the woman's bones. That should be more than enough. Maybe that would be it - she would tell Jonathan whatever he wanted to hear. But I knew we probably needed to talk to Annie too. I still felt there was something missing. It was Annie who haunted Jonathan, not her mother. I still didn't understand why - I would have thought it was much more logical the other way. And so the whole day was rather wasted as I was not there but lost in my thoughts.
