Indian hemp and threw it in. Using the ladle, slowly I stirred the white potion until it turned amber in color. The smell of flowers, grass, and mulch swirled above the cauldron, filling the air with the sweet smells of spring.
    The murky substance glowed green. I took the Mojo Wish Bean bottle out of my apron pocket and uncorked the top. Tapping the bottle on my palm, one small teal bean popped out of the tiny hole. I threw the bean in and put the cork back on the bottle.
    I put the bottle back where I found it and made sure to cover it up, out of sight.
    The cauldron stopped boiling.
    I held my hands over the liquid that had turned blue. With my eyes closed, I visualized Mandy working in the garden, and whispered, “Quiet mind, quiet soul, bring on the good memories the garden holds. Keep hands clean, keep them safe, and bring back the good memories in this place.”
    The liquid suddenly hardened. Slowly I stirred it to create a creamy lotion-like substance.
    A bottle glowed from the shelf of empty potion bottles that was underneath the potion shelf. The bottles spoke to me by glowing when they wanted to be used. They were just as important to the cure as the cure itself.
    I took the red heart-shaped bottle off the shelf. It was perfect for the wonderful memories that were going to be stored there. I held the bottle close to the cauldron and watched the magical substance fill the glass. I have never questioned how the magic worked.
    A few minutes later, I had all the instructions on how to use the cream written on a piece of paper for Mandy to take home.
    “It only takes a dab.” I opened up the special bottle and put a dab on my finger. “No more than this.” I took Mandy’s hand and gently rubbed in the cream.
    “It’s like…” she gasped, “magic.”
    The one little dab was enough to cover both hands and more. She continued to rub her hands together. Her eyes twinkled with delight.
    “Here are the instructions and how your hands will feel.” I placed the instructions in the bag along with the bottle. I took her money. “When you need a refill, don’t throw away the bottle. Bring it back and I’ll be more than happy to fill it back up.”
    “Thank you so much.” Mandy held the bag close to her and waved as she went out the door.
    I walked over to the window to watch her leave, but there was some sort of commotion going on over at Ever After Books.
    “Oh, no.” I shook my head when I saw Alexelrod Primrose pacing back in forth in front of the bookshop with a picket sign.

Chapter Six
     
    No sooner did I clear out the store, than Oscar Park walked in.
    “What’s going on?” He pointed to the sign I was flipping around and the customers that were walking out. “Aren’t you open?”
    “Oscar.” My heart melted when I saw him. This was bad timing for a visit, but good timing for him to watch the shop. “You can do this.” I grabbed him and pulled him into the shop. “Ladies,” I called after the customers I had just kicked out. “My help is here, so we are staying open. Please come back in and take fifty-percent off any product of your choice.”
    The women happily agreed, but Oscar wasn’t so thrilled about it.
    “I…” He shook his head. “I don’t know anything about these crazy homeopathic cures Darla taught you how to do. It wasn’t so long ago that you set fire to your shed in Locust Grove.”
    Oscar reminded me of the unfortunate situation that happened before we moved to Whispering Falls; only he didn’t remember the “we” part of it. I was working on a cure using the Magical Cures Book Darla had left me, only I didn’t know it was an actual potion book and I blew up the shed. All of Locust Grove thought I was crazy. Shortly after that incident, I was happy to discover that I was a spiritualist and did belong to a community.
    “You always worked with me at the flea market.” I reminded him. “And Mr. Prince Charming is here.”
    I rushed over to the counter and grabbed Mr.
