Another double shift at the magic shop had Melody buzzing with excitement. She had finally perfected a potion she had been trying and the timing had finally all come together. Some of the buzz was also from her growing addiction to the caffeine in the coffee she was regularly getting from Cool Beans and she was heading in there for one now, in celebration.
As she entered she looked around and saw the girl sitting on the couch, reading, and headed to the counter to order her usual. She looked around again and back to the girl on the couch as the milk was heated. She was kind of disappointed Maddy wasn't there, as she could have told her all about the potion, and how it had finally come out the exact colour it was supposed to be. Now all she had to do was test it, and she really did want Maddie to be around for that, just for safety. The idea of testing it on herself didn't scare her, unless it went terribly wrong, or even more so, terribly right! She looked across at the girl and wondered for a brief moment if she could possibly be a potential test subject, but chided herself that she should wait for Maddy.
"Is that a good book?" she asked instead. She didn't read a lot of novels, but friends at school had always been reading one author or another. Melody had always preferred reading the books she managed to get from the store she now worked in, but didn't tell any of her friends about them.
