Page 40 of Cadenbury Town Does Halloween

“I told them I would let you know. I can’t believe you squirted Alfred and Justice,” he says grinning at me.

I laugh. “I had to cool them down. Justice and I will do the haunted walk tonight. He threatened me with killer ghosts. I threatened him with bats.”

“At least the public will have fun watching that,” Adhan replied grinning.

“Me too.” Have I ever mentioned I love playing with magic?

It doesn’t takeus long to get home and walk into the kitchen to see almost everyone is home and the brothers have arrived.

I look towards Enoch and Xander to see how they are doing, but they are happily chatting with Temp, Cassie and Sion. Sly and Ebby are sat at the table talking with the others.

“Hey family, friends,” I say as we enter.

We get greetings from everyone and a smile and wave from Enoch.

“Boys, dinner is ready, can you set the table, please? Xander, Enoch, join your brothers at the table.” Emily says.

“We can help,” Sly says standing up.

Emily shakes her head. “The boys will do it, but thank you.”

Adhan touches his shoulder. “There’s enough of us to get it done quickly.”

Sly nods and sits back down, just as Nix, Cam and Nora walk in.

Nora sits at the table while Nix and Cam help us set the table and start bringing food over.

In no time at all the table is full of food and as we sit Sal and Justice arrive.

“Evening,” they both say.

They get a round of ‘hellos’and sit down. Sal kissing Jude hello, before taking Connie out of his arms and chatting to her, sitting her on his lap.

Food gets passed around and there is happy chatter around the table.

“How was the second viewing?” Cam asks the brothers.

“Even better than the first one. We had more time to look around and the house hugged us again,” Xander tells us before the others can say anything.

“It is the perfect house, but there are things we need to discuss before we can make a firm decision,” Ebby replies.

“That’s okay, take as long as you need to decide, and if you decide against it, that’s completely fine,” Adhan tells them.

“Enoch, do you want to come and see the injured animals tomorrow? Elaine and I are busy in the morning, but we’ll be at her house all afternoon. I promise Elaine is lovely, but I’ll be there to protect you the whole time,” Temp says, giving him a gentle smile.

Enoch looks at Ebby and Sly.

“I can come with you as well if you want,” Ebby offers.

Enoch turns back to look at Temp. “Do you mind?”

Temp shakes his head. “I don’t mind, neither will Elaine,” he looked at Ebby. “I’ll get your mobile number later and we can arrange everything.”

“Thank you for understanding,” Ebby says to him.

“Seriously think nothing of it. You don’t know the town or us, it’s all good.” Temp assures him.

Ebby nods.
