Jess found Maestro, just around the corner of her store. He ambled ahead of her across the parking lot and onto the grass area that led into the woods.
"Stop brooding,” he muttered, shaking his feet which were wet from the dew. “I saw you with that odious woman eyeing up the stores.”
“I’m not brooding,” she said defensively. “Although, I have to admit Lottie surprised me when she said that Edmond Rice was considering selling his store. It’s perfect for a bakery and now that I’ve seen it we really do need to have a discussion about my pursuit of a different career.”
“One I disapprove of.” 
His piercing gaze was unnerving, but she’d never been afraid of a challenge. “I know you don’t want me to do it, but you know I’ll never be happy unless I can bake.” 
"Why can’t you be happy baking on weekends or in the evenings instead of opening a bakery?" he growled.
"That would make it a hobby and it’s what I've been doing since I came home. You know it's not enough for me. As selfish as it might sound, I want baking to be my life."
His tail flicked irritably. "A witch has responsibilities and your happiness isn’t the only thing at stake. Your mother’s store is important to Good Fortune and its residents."
"I understand that—really, I do," she implored. "But with Jenny mostly running the store and having some powers of her own now, is it really so imperative that I be there too?"
Stopping under the shade of a large tree, Maestro eyed her balefully. "You are becoming a powerful witch. It would be wrong to waste your talents."
Though he spoke firmly, his tone held a hint of something else, something that gave her hope. For once, she kept her mouth shut and waited. Nothing could rush the black cat if he wasn’t feeling inclined, and her tendency to argue with him when he was being bossy never helped matters.
