An old University friend returned from an extended stay in Europe once and told me he had a music video for me – I had to see it. I could tell there was going to be something of interest here because he couldn’t even really explain anything about it – he was kind of gobsmacked…
Movies, television, music videos – we’ve been capturing lip-locks of all varieties on film for more than a century now. Everyone has an opinion, a favourite, a bona fide scene-stealing kiss that they secretly wish real life could live up to. While I don’t really watch romantic films and I’m not really into rom-coms or…
Willow rushes over to me and hugs me, almost knocking me down. “I’m so glad you’re ok! But, today we have something more important to discuss – you get to rename the coven! Any idea what you want to call us?” Willow squeals. I hold up my hand, close my eyes, meditate on a name…
Alice charges at me and knocks me over in a tackle. “Hurry, now!” She whispers as she “struggles” to keep me pinned to the ground. I pull up the message and hit send, we make a show of our struggle and I peak to see if it went – it did and lucky just in…
“Wow, this is really happening. I didn’t think you two would be able to pull this off.” Alice says from her corner. She appears to be appalled at the scene before her. “Shut up, Alice!” Persephone says while giving her a really big kick in the ass. “Ok guys. If this is a party I’d…
“I want to kiss you.” “I want that too.” I manage to eek out a response and he breaks his newfound chaise comfort to lean over and kiss me. I don’t have to be a witch to know this kiss is pure magic. I feel it in my entire body like a wave of sparks…
“Hermione, how do my mother and Miss Hazel know each other?” Hermione perches on the edge of the bed. “Your mom grew up with Miss Hazel. They were once members of the same coven, they go really far back – Miss Hazel knew you when you were a baby, she helped your mother with the…
“Erika, you can open your eyes – I can tell that this isn’t going to work.” Willow echoes the sentiment in my head. Relieved, I open my eyes. “Nope, not at all. I’m sorry Willow, but unless you’ve got something I can see, hear, taste or touch, nothing is happening.” Willow reaches into the little…
“What the hell is that awful noise?” I wake up to a loud bang, completely disoriented, surprised to find that I’d fallen asleep to begin with. Life of the party I am. “Happy Birthday Erika! I have cupcakes for you!” Willow is now in the room, as is Hermione and a few other coven members.…
“We might as well settle in here until the others get back or it strikes midnight – whichever comes first.” He props his legs up on the table and lounges back into the sofa. Claiming extra space, his arm and leg brush against mine and I feel veritable sparks pass between us. “On a totally…
Home of the Crazy Cookie Dreamers Cafe – the original corner of Queen Sweet Spot and home of the crazy cookie – a Port Hope staple. Owner Roger Bernard offers a variety of treats and beverages – making this spot an excellent place for groups. The deliciously gooey “crazy cookie” is one of Port Hope’s…
After an hour or two of getting to know the girls Hermione addresses the group and the room becomes very serious. “Girls, we’ve got a reason to celebrate tonight and a reason to be worried.” she pauses before continuing. “We can celebrate that Erika is here, ready to learn her truth. We will help her…
