Hearing my decision, Maggie smiled—probably because she'd successfully secured an income out of this. She inhaled the rest of her tea and took her cup to the sink, preparing herself for the upcoming events.
"Good decision," she said as she stood up, fixing her dress. "Having magic would be a lot better than staying as a useless human."
I cast a glance at Luke, curious to see how he would respond to my decision. When he realized I was looking at him, he merely smiled and ruffled my hair. He didn't appear to have any objections, as he had previously stated that he would follow my wish.
In some ways, I wanted to learn magic so that I could help Luke, but I was also afraid of what this magic would bring me. I was afraid of what people would think of me when they learn about me being a witch. Will those warm smiles that people used to give me turn into a scowl?
