Tuesday, October 2

Constance ran into Serena's living room without even shedding her coat. The other three Witchy Women were already there, as usual. She stood for a few seconds, panting, shucking off the coat, and trying to catch her breath.

They are going to be totally shocked. She'd been dying to tell them the news. "You're not going to believe this. . . that meditation worked! I found him!" She bounced like a kid.

Serena looked at her with amazement in her eyes. "You found the man from your dreams? The one with the dragon tattoo?"

Constance nodded, her face as shocked as the other three. A stunned hush fell over the room, then they all started to talk at once. Questions flooded her and their enthusiasm somehow calmed her. She took a moment to pour a glass of wine.

Constance looked up into three sets of probing eyes. "I know I should have told you sooner, but I've been busy working all week." She paused over a sip of wine and started to answer their questions. "Yes, he's completely real. Even the dragon tattoo. And I wouldn't have found him as quickly if I wasn't following my joy."

Serena squinted. "I thought you meditated on getting your friend's charity money?"

"I tried, but Nick's image kept flashing in my mind, so I focused on him instead. Active consciousness is completely amazing! It works!"

Abby went directly to the important question. "Nick, huh? Is he as cute in real life?"

"He's exactly the same. Totally hot. But kind of messed up, too." She reached into her handbag and tossed a newspaper onto the table. The front page had a picture of Nick being arrested, along with the standard large-type pronouncement of his guilt. "That's him." She pointed.

May gasped. "The pervy principal is your dream man? You need some serious dream therapy, girl."

I probably do. What sort of cosmic jokes were her dreams playing on her if they led her to Nick Veseli? The two of them came from such different backgrounds that it seemed unlikely they would ever be together. But what if they weren't meant to be together? What if his purpose in life was merely to release her from her dreams so she could find love elsewhere? If that was so, then why was she so intensely drawn to him? It didn't seem right.

Constance decided to take a positive view of the situation. "I don't know. He turned out to be real, so I can't complain. And get this. I'm defending him."

Disappointment filled all three of their faces. Serena took her hand. "Oh Connie, I'm so sorry."
