They maintained contact under the table as they continued to talk. It was easier for Owen to hide the first-date thrill he felt. It had been so long since he’d touched anyone that wasn’t his wife. He’d forgotten what it felt like to have something new.
“I’m doing a bit of detective work.” He said of his time in Cedgewick. “There’s this--” he glanced down at the table while he thought of how to phrase it, “--ailment that’s been affecting witches back east, and maybe out here, too, I’m not sure yet.” He paused and frowned as he considered just how widespread the issue could really be. “Well anyway, it was discovered that a coven of witches that used to live out in Cedgewick but were ran off say thirty or so years ago --and there’s some connection between this sickness and that coven. I’m trying to figure out the link and maybe track down one of the old members.”
He twisted his glass and his face took on some intrigue, his brow arching, “In fact,” his voice modulated higher as he was about to reveal the most interesting tidbit, “I’m living in their old house. The Maxillion household was the centerpiece of the coven.”
He then became more professorial, adjusting his glasses and frowning as he spoke. “It’s an interesting house. Geographically speaking, it sits on some crisscrossing ley lines,” His fingers spread out and his hands covered one another demonstrating a kind of grid as if to illustrate his point. “You can really feel the energy when you’re in the house. I’ve been meaning to map them out, but I haven’t had the time.”
His face screwed up and he shook his head, “I’m sorry. This must be terribly boring for you. Why don’t you tell me about you?”
