A witch stood atop it, her long coat fluttering gently as she landed. A bright red cap rested snugly over her dark hair, and she held a brown satchel tightly to her chest. Her sharp eyes scanned the houses as she stepped down, her boots clicking softly against the gravel with each step forward.
"Is this the house of Miss Ruby?" she asked, her voice brisk but polite.
Julian's brows furrowed slightly as he stepped forward. "Yes…" he replied, unsure why she was looking for Ruby this early.
The witch strode closer to the porch, stopping just a few feet from him. She met Julian's gaze, her expression calm but unreadable.
