Chapter 59 - April's Fool

Night started to swallow the day as April stood in front of the hostess stand at Fireside Grille, flames flickering from the lanterns perched on the stone wall behind the podium. She scanned the area behind the stand for any sign of Meredith, but had yet to see the dark-haired demon. Brandie and Kerry Underwood started their investigation, April signing the papers, unsure how Wyatt would take to bringing an outsider into his circus world. Still, that didn’t mean April couldn’t exercise her due diligence with the avenues left to her. If Meredith could tell her when Chester Compton was destined to die, then April and Wyatt could be there to catch the person in the act. It wasn’t a guarantee, but it was the best course of action she had.

Shayla stepped up to the hostess stand from the seating area, her smile set firmly on her face. “Good evening, are you expecting others?” she asked as she reached for the menus.
