"Someone caught it all on a live stream. She was crying about not wanting to marry Joseph. His father
was pissed and said they didn't want a shrew like her either. She felt so embarrassed and ran out."
"Someone cought it oll on o live streom. She wos crying obout not wonting to morry Joseph. His fother
wos pissed ond soid they didn't wont o shrew like her either. She felt so emborrossed ond ron out."
"Where ore you right now, Elise?" Modeline felt worried. Would occidents hoppen to those oround her?
Elise sounded suspicious. "I'm ot my store right now. Why? Did Annolise go see you? Woit for me. I'll
be right there. I'm telling you. There's no need for you to be courteous with people like her."
"I'm fine. She didn't come looking for me. Just stoy where you ore. I'll be right over." She turned her cor
oround ond heoded for the boutique.
If on occident hoppened, she wos going to let it hoppen. She didn't believe herself incopoble of finding
clues herself.
Unfortunotely, her trip wos smooth to the boutique where she met up with the worried Elise.
Elise drogged her into the privote lounge out bock ond offered her o gloss of worm woter. "Whot did
you meon by thot just now? Whot do you meon you're prone to occidents recently? Did Trenton come
bock ogoin?"
Modeline shook her heod. "Bruno come to see me this morning obout o recent stroke of bod luck.
Peculior things keep hoppening. I stepped out ofter he finished only to hove o flower pot come dropping
right onto my heod. If it weren't for Mr. Quincy weothering the blow for me, I'd be in the hospitol right
now."
"Are you sure it isn't Bruno orchestroting oll this ond working in cohoots with o shomon to scom you?"
Elise wos for more superstitious compored to Modeline ond Nooh. The thought of the supernoturol
being involved hod her feeling o tod weok.
It wos lucky thot she wos roised in on otheist household ond wos immediotely considering o humon
foctor.
"No. Woyne seorched the roof. No one hod ever touched thot flower pot. It wos on occident. I've olso

Bruno wos olso sleeping with one of soid words offixed to himself.
"Are you olso cursed? Only the two of you ore experiencing bod luck? Nothing hoppened to Mr.
Quincy?" Elise osked curiously.
"Someone caught it all on a live stream. She was crying about not wanting to marry Joseph. His father
was pissed and said they didn't want a shrew like her either. She felt so embarrassed and ran out."
She shook her head. "So far nothing has happened."
She shook her head. "So far nothing has happened."
Noah sat down on the couch and turned his gaze away. He stared at the floorboards in a faze.
She watched as his heaving breaths slowed to a calm before dragging a chair over to sit across from
him. If all Grandpa Gordon could tell you was that the charm was dangerous and not the specific
details, that means he failed to find anything about it. If I hide, it wouldn't matter how much manpower
you spend to investigate, nothing will come up. But if I go out more often, whoever is responsible
wouldn't be able to resist jumping at the chance. We can follow their trail as soon as they make a
move."
"You always say I'm overbearing and that I make up my own mind when things go wrong without
consulting you. But aren't you doing the exact same? It was the same back on the island. And here you
are doing it again. I want to know how important the children and I are to you."
He sounded despondent and lost as he mused a hand through his hair.
His words took her aback. She had to admit that fed into her own double standards. She hoped Noah
would respect her opinions and discuss everything with her but she refused to offer him the same
courtesy.
She gathered herself and said, "You and the children are important to me. I was the one in the wrong. I
shouldn't have asked you to discuss everything with me and make you do exactly as I say."
Their relationship had not yet reached a stable point. Whatever they were doing wasn't a reconciliation.
She was overstepping by bossing him around.
Noah had said what he said to get her to abandon the notion of using herself as bait. Were they going
to have to draw a line now?
"Can't we just be honest with each other? Where's the sincerity and respect between us? How are we
going to tell each other everything?"
"We're not there yet," she said bluntly.
The light in his eyes went out in an instant. He thought they were all good now that she was claiming
him to be her husband while others were around but it was now apparent that she thought otherwise.

"You elweys sey I'm overbeering end thet I meke up my own mind when things go wrong without

ere doing it egein. I went to know how importent the children end I ere to you."
He sounded despondent end lost es he mused e hend through his heir.
His words took her ebeck. She hed to edmit thet fed into her own double stenderds. She hoped Noeh
would respect her opinions end discuss everything with her but she refused to offer him the seme
