OTHER PEOPLE, WHEN forced to start over, do so in appropriate places.
New York. Los Angeles. Bozeman. Only Flair would wind up in
Kansas, dragging a hand-painted, life-sized figure of Jack Skellington into
her bakery and wondering where to hide it until the horror show that was
Halloween in Rattleboro finally lurched to an end this weekend.
Flair hated seeing even the outside of her tidy space besmirched with the
trappings of a ridiculous holiday that invited exactly the kind of chaos that
she normally kept firmly at bay. But she’d had to accept it. From the
skeleton on the now spiderweb-covered bench to the black-and-orange
garlands and the wheelbarrow of painted pumpkins, her precarious new
venture had become part of a Main Street so drenched in town-funded
Halloween preparations that it was impossible to rest your eyes on a surface
not wrapped in twinkle lights or faux-aged into flawless Gothic dereliction.

But Jack eating a slice of bloodred cherry pie was taking it a step too far.
Like nearly everyone, he was taller than Flair, making him difficult to
maneuver, but Flair would not let that stop her from ridding her entryway of
the blight. She wrestled him through the door and looked around the shop,
wondering where she could stash him until the town’s Halloween powers
that be came to retrieve him in November. Or maybe he could meet an
untimely and tragic end before then.

Lucie looked up from one of the white tables where she sat with her
ankles wrapped around the legs of a turquoise chair, which she had—under
duress—helped Flair to paint before Buttersweet Bakery’s opening in
August. Ostensibly she was doing vocab, but more likely she was staring
into the phone Flair had given her when they moved. Flair’s plan had been
for Lucie to connect with (and feel appropriately cool next to) her new
eighth-grade classmates, but Lucie preferred to use it to complain to her
father and her friends back “home” in St. Louis about the cruelty of her
mother’s decision to move them both to the boondocks.

“Grand is having a show in St. Louis tomorrow,” she said. “If we were
there, we could go.”
“Well, we’re not,” Flair said automatically. “And Grand’s shows aren’t
G-rated, so we wouldn’t be going anyway.” Would Jack fit behind the hutch
that was very nearly the only thing left of what had until recently been
Marie’s Teas, or was she going to have to find a place for him in her
kitchen? “We’ll see her soon.”
“That’s what you always say,” said Lucie, who was clearly gearing up
for another monologue on her favorite topic, how you have ruined my life.
“But it’s been since her birthday two years ago. If we were home, we would
at least have dinner or something.”

Maybe. Or maybe Cynthia would be so overrun by fans of the
bewilderingly successful vampire-and-witch romances she wrote that—darn
—she wouldn’t be able to fit them in. Flair was relieved when the bells on
the door interrupted her daughter before the pointless debate could
continue. She tried but failed to hide Jack behind her as she prepared a
welcoming, but not overwhelming, smile for what would be her first
