“Freshman year.”
He nods again, pulling me into his arms.
“You must have been relieved she didn’t say Dorcus Hoar was to be your true love.”
Andrew throws his head back and laughs so hard and so loud it must echo off of the water. “So relieved.”
“Poor Dorcus. Persecuted when alive, and mocked in death.”
“I can call you Dorcus, if you feel so bad.”
I wrinkle my nose. “Please don’t.” I kiss him between chuckles. Laugh-kissing is better than snort-laughing.
He stops laughing and his eyes focus on mine. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
I would say more, but his lips crash against my mouth, and I know he’s waited long enough.
Whoops and screams coming down the lawn force us apart, but Andrew holds fast to my hand, not letting me move away from his side. Various partygoers stumble toward the fire, among them Tate and Sarah walking close together, arms entwined.
I meet Andrew’s eye.
He leans forward and kisses my temple before whispering, “Don’t tell Sam her spell didn’t work either.”
My eyes widen.
If she needs to believe in spells, so be it.
I believe in real magic.
The end … for now

Thanks for reading!
Thanks for reading Bewitched! I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I loved writing it. I had fun branching out into New Adult. If you enjoyed the humor and the falling in love parts, please check out my other books, which have both of those elements without a magical twist.
Big thanks to my readers who loved the first version of this story and wanted more. I want more too! I promise this isn’t the end with Andrew, Madison and the rest of the characters at Hawthorne College. Pinky swear.
Special thanks to Allison Smith for help with all things magical and Wicca in this story. Thanks to Bria, Renee and Helena for reading this version and giving me much needed encouragement. It's better because of your input. Thank you to my editor Melissa Ringsted and proofreader Marla Esposito for fixing my crimes against grammar and giving my writing a final polish. Thanks as always to SO for his endless enthusiasm and nurturing the earliest seeds of all of my stories. I am a better storyteller because of you.
I’m blessed to be part of the Indie publishing community full of talented authors; dedicated bloggers; skilled designers, formatters, and editors; and most of all, passionate readers. Thank you for buying Indie books, and for reading, blogging, sharing and reviewing.
