Excerpt
from The Bee Charmer by Poppy Lawless
The sound of the honey bees buzzing all around
me was sweeter than any Vivaldi concerto I’d ever heard. I sat lotus style in
the apple orchard, inhaling the sweet scent of the apple blossoms. My eyes
closed, I could feel the white petals falling on me as a soft wind sent them
spiraling. The warm spring sunlight shone down on my face. It must have been
almost noon. The rays of sun felt warm on my skin. I listened to the bees hum
as they danced from flower to flower. Perfection. I inhaled deeply, and with
each exhale, set my enchantments on the wind:
Bring a
love for Alice.
Now is the
time.
Bring a
love for Alice.
One that’s
finer than wine.
Wine? Not a very good enchantment, and not a
very good rhyme. No wonder Alice was no closer to meeting the man of her dreams
than she’d been the day I met her three years ago when I’d gotten my
assignment.
Wine…of course it would be wine. Ever since I’d
set eyes on Viola Hunter, the dark-haired wine heiress who just happened to be
the sister of my best friend, I’d been distracted. I imagined her skipping
nymph-like through the apple orchard under the spring sun. Imaging, however,
was as far as I’d ever taken anything. Viola Hunter, whose family’s vineyard
sided my small country farmhouse, had already friend-zoned me. There was little
use pining over a woman who just wasn’t into me. After all, Alice was supposed
to be my focus. I needed to shake Viola from my thoughts. Poor Alice. I was
doing my best, but she still wasn’t where she was supposed to be. I needed to
try harder.
I shut out all thoughts of Viola Hunter and set
my mind on Alice once more. I tuned into the sounds of nature: the humming of
the bees, the rustling of the new leaves, and the feel of the warm sunlight on
my skin. This time, I lifted the willow wand sitting in my lap and gave it a
wave as I intoned:
Over hill,
over dale,
Through
brush, through brier,
Over park,
over pale,
Through
flood, through fire
Bring
Alice her love!
This time when I said the enchantment, I could
feel the magic. A little sound, like the chiming of a hundred small bells, told
me that the spell had worked. I could almost see my words glimmering like gold
on the wind, twisting and turning upward toward the sky in search of the one
who would bring Alice’s heart joy.
I opened my eyes and looked down at the wand.
For a moment, I wished I could just give it a wave and have everything I
wanted. But that wasn’t how this worked. Whatever I wanted, I was going to have
to work for it. Good thing I didn’t need much. But the moment I thought it,
Viola came to mind once more.
My phone, lying in the grass beside me, buzzed.
I picked it up to see I’d received a text from Alice. So soon? When I opened
the message, however, I was perplexed.
Crisis, she’d written.
What’s
wrong?
I answered back.
Dumped
again. Bring chocolate.
I sighed heavily. When Alice started dating Tom,
Chancellor’s local sheriff, I knew it wasn’t meant to be. He wasn’t a bad guy,
but they were completely wrong for one another. And I also knew that uniting
Alice with her true love meant that Tom would have to go away. But that fast?
Wow, maybe I was getting better at this than I thought. Or maybe, it was just
time.
On my way
into town now.
I replied.
There was no answer. It was the midday lunch
rush at Alice’s bagel shop. No doubt that would keep her busy, her mind
occupied. I frowned. Also, it was the worst time of day to get dumped.
“Time to get to work,” I told the bees. They
stopped their tasks then and swarmed, making a passing spiral around me, from
my feet to my head. I could sense their questions, their excitement.
“Help me?” I asked. “Help me find the one for
Alice?”
With an excited buzz, they flew off happily. I
had no doubt they’d do everything they could.
“Thank you,” I called behind them then headed
out of the orchard.
My old pick-up sat waiting near the barn.
Shielding my eyes with my hand, I gazed across the horizon at the row after row
of vines owned by Viola’s family’s business, Blushing Grape Vineyards. I could
just make out the roof of the Hunter family’s elaborate mansion sitting along
the shore of Lake Erie. So close, but so far away. I sighed and looked out at
the lake; the waves were dark blue that morning. The wind blowing off the lake
was still cold, even though it was April, but I could feel the earth coming
back to life. Spring had come again.
I picked up the cases of honey I’d packed up
earlier that day and set them in the back of my truck. Sliding into the
driver’s seat, I glanced once more at the Hunter family mansion. Where was
Viola today? Working at the estate? Was she busy at the family restaurant
downtown? Or was she over at the college where she’d started taking classes
once more? The image of her laughing and running through the orchard played
through my mind once more.
Alice. I needed to focus on Alice.
I lifted my phone again. Still no reply from
Alice.
“Sorry, Alice. I’ll try to do better. Looks like
you’re stuck with the worst fairy godfather ever.”
