Chapter 173

"Okay. I'm convinced," I said, trying to catch my breath. "I definitely need a wand and a blizzard bubble."

Forever pulled another Santa hat from thin air and held it out. "And a Santa hat?"

"Oh, always! Thanks." I took it from her and balanced it on top of my coat hood. "Christmas in July?"

"Absolutely. Safe-Mart brought out all the Christmas items that didn't sell last year and marked them half off, given this crazy weather. So far, they're selling like, well, half-off Christmas items."

"Makes sense."

Forever was a witch in her twenties with long black hair like Cass's, but with bright blue eyes that weren't like Cass's. Underneath her black puffy coat, she wore her green, wet-looking Safe-Mart apron, a pink sweater, and black leggings with donuts all over them. Tucked into her non-wand hand was a green spray bottle, which she used to spritz herself in the face.
