Her glum train of thought was broken by the ringing of her phone.
It was a call from Graham.
“Lucinda, I heard from Abel that you need my help.”
Lucinda took a deep breath.
“Correct.”
“Okay, but I’m afraid I can’t return to Stastle for the time being.
I have matters to deal with in the next couple of days. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I’ll handle it when I have the time.”
Graham was checking his schedule even as he said this.
“Thank you, Graham.” Lucinda paused and braced herself, and then finally said, “I need you to help me get Kyson out of prison.”

There was a beat of silence on the line.
Whatever Graham was expecting to hear, this was definitely not it.
Three hours later, Lucinda finally returned to N&L Fairy Land. It was already getting dark.
Immediately Nathan opened the door, his eyes widened at the sight of the towering bags she carried.
They seemed to dwarf her petite frame.

“Did you just rob a mall or something?”
She flashed a sheepish smile.
“Well, girls can never resist a good discount. When it’s ‘buy one get one free,’ or even ‘buy two get three free,’ it’s just too tempting to pass up. I mean, it’s practically a steal! So, naturally, I had to buy them all.”
He stood there, momentarily dumbfounded, and decided to call her out on her bluff.
“Come on, money isn’t exactly a concern for you. Do you really care about a discount? It’s just a marketing gimmick to lure customers.”
“Rubbish! The more money I have, the better. If I can get something at a lower price, why pay full price? I may be rich, but I’m not foolish, you know!”
“Can’t argue with that logic. Not wasting money is always a good thing,” Nathan conceded, nodding appreciatively.
“You’ll make a fine, industrious wife!”
Lucinda found his serious expression amusing and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Well, enough chatter. Help me open these bags. I’ve bought loads of winter clothes for you.”
