Witch Ball Quotes

“Sabine dear, you behaved so wonderfully, so poised and mature. I was very proud of you."

Huh? Was I hearing right? My mother-proud of me?

"You looked lovely and I was very impressed with your young man," she continued. "Has Josh ever considered modeling? I could put him in contact with some key people if he's interested."

"I don't think so. But I'll tell him."

"Also be sure to tell him he's welcome to visit anytime."

"Should I come, too?"

"Don't make jokes, Sabine. I'm being sincere."

"Well ... thanks. I'll tell josh and we'll plan a visit."

"Excellent. He's exactly the sort of young man I'd hoped you'd find, and clearly a very good influence to help you overcome your past problems."

"You don't have to worry about me."

"I'm not-but I'm concerned about Amy."

"Why?" I asked cautiously.

"She's at an impressionable age, and I don't want her to experience anything unnatural. I wouldn't have allowed her to stay with you if I hadn't thought you'd outgrown all the woo-woo nonsense."

Yeah, like I'm going to take Amy to a coven meeting where we'll dance naked with spirits in the moonlight.

Mom hadn't changed at all-my abilities still freaked her out. She'd only called to make sure I didn't corrupt my little sister. Her sugary compliments were as fake as artificial sweetener. Arguing would just bring a quick end to Amy's visit. So I said what Mom wanted to hear-lying through my clenched teeth for Amy's sake.

Then I slammed the phone down.”

“Everyone oohed and wanted details, but I kept it PG 13, not that there were any R moments. Josh wasn't that kind of guy. In fact, he had such a high code of ethics, I found myself watching what I said around him. There were things he didn't need to know.”
