She laughed in response, shaking her head fondly. Nicky was the first girlfriend she had ever revealed her full identity to. Telling anyone that she’s a witch was a massive risk, not only to herself, but to her family and the whole mage community. But after more than six months of being with her, she earned her trust, and she was coming to affirm that it wasn’t misplaced. “How long have you been waiting to say that?”

“Since you told me,” Nicky admitted. Finding out about Jan’s background did take her by surprise, but it didn’t bother her. She’d told her that she used to date a Wiccan, though Jan gently explained why that wasn’t the same thing.

Jan giggled softly as she gathered a few different herbs and other plants. “I told you that I’m a witch and your first thought was making a Wicked joke? My god, I love you.”

She beamed, the phrase still relatively new between them and still making her heart skip a beat. “Well, I love you too, and nothing you could’ve told me would have changed that,” she hummed as she followed behind her around the store, looking, but unsure if she should touch anything.

They continued browsing through the store for another few minutes before Jan brought her basket to the counter and tapped the bell by the register so the owner would know to come out and ring them up.

“So this is her?” Crystal asked as she stepped out from the back room, “the human?”

Her cheeks tinted pink, but she nodded. “Yeah, this is Nicky,” she replied, lightly tugging at her girlfriend’s arm to bring her forward.

“Enchanté,” she greeted, politely adding, “your shop is so lovely.”

“Thanks,” she smiled as she rang up the basket items, though her eyes were trained on Nicky.

Jan cringed, she knew what Crystal was doing – she was an empath with a strong ability to read others, and humans were the easiest. But Nicky didn’t seem to notice, so she didn’t bring attention to it and quickly paid her.

“See you next week,” the other witch hummed, quietly assuring, “she’s good.”
