Excerpt:
Ianthe slid a cup and scone to her side of the small table and slathered
butter onto the bread while Dubheasa eyed her carefully.
“Well then,” Dubheasa said, thankfully moving on to a new topic, “when did
we last see each other, dear? Do you remember?”
“Um.” Ianthe paused to take a bite of her scone. “Two summers ago, I
think.”
“And has much changed since then?” Dubheasa asked, stirring cream into her
tea.
“Besides growing a bit taller, nothing at all.”
“Well, I’m glad to see you’re still here.”
“Why wouldn’t I be here?”
Dubheasa sipped her tea and waited for Ianthe to come to some sort of
conclusion, but Ianthe stared back, lost as ever.
“Well, the Scréch SÃdhe, of course,” Dubheasa finally said.
Ianthe couldn’t help but subtly roll her eyes, feeling a sliver of
annoyance in her gut.
“Oh, right. Of course,” she said flatly. “How could I forget.”
“You still don’t believe in the SÃdhe, do you?” Dubheasa asked, though she
already knew the answer.
“No, I must admit. I don’t.”
“If you don’t mind me asking, why is that?”
“You told me the Scréch SÃdhe would come for me after my mother
disappeared, but it’s been eleven years. Do you really believe a magical
faerie would need this much time to find a person?”
Dubheasa continued to sip her tea with squinted eyes before offering
another question.
“Then how do you think your mother turned to stone?”
“Oh, this again?” Ianthe said, reminding herself a bit of her dad. “My
mother didn’t turn to stone.”
“I’ve seen her, Ianthe. I know she stands in the river.”
“I’ve told you,” Ianthe said, dropping her hands to the table and rattling
the teacups. “My father had that statue made in remembrance of her.
It’s not actually her.”
“And yet, he never visits her to remember her.”
“N—no, you’ve got it wrong, Dubheasa. My mother disappeared.”
“And disappearing into thin air is a more acceptable explanation for you?”
Dubheasa asked, studying Ianthe’s face.
“Certainly more acceptable than ‘cursed by a faerie’,” she said in a failed
whisper.
