CHAPTER 14
~ Estelle ~
I felt bad for not thinking about getting the gnomes to recalibrate their sundials for Char. After she left, I’d opened the giant rule book—Big Bertha—and found a way I could help without Char needing to make a wish. I just hoped Gram-Gram couldn’t tell that I was circumventing the wishing system and sending positive energy to Char. But why would I get in trouble? There was no rule against it.
None at all. Not even if the recipient was human.
So now Char, who’d barely made a wish all day—thanks to all of her almost-instant take-backs—had a new wave to ride, thanks to me, and I hoped it helped her out.
Really, though, she needed to break her wishing ban and make a few. It would surely speed things up. She couldn’t make direct wishes against her account’s balance, but she could make a few grey-area ones around getting her karmic snowball moving. And maybe a couple around love, too, since those would be much more expedient than what I could do with my energy influencing. I really wanted to grant her a wish that would put her firmly in James’s arms.
If only men had fairy godmothers. I bet James would make a really good wish.
