Sitting cross-legged, and with a carefree spirit, she summoned him over. Then had second thoughts. What if he was some mad man? It was too late now. He was making his way toward her, and she wasn’t in a position to get up quickly and run. Mustering all the courage she had, she waited for him to arrive.

“Where you motioning to me?” he asked.

“Um, no, I mean, yes, I mean, I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“I see. Well, I’ll be on my way then.”

“No, wait a sec. Maybe, this was meant to be.”

Maybe not….

The screen flickered and then he was gone…..

Caroline didn’t know what happened. One minute, a wonderful conversation with Richard, the next, poof! He vanished into thin air. All she saw was a light shining on an empty chair.

Richard planned it all along. He had been trying out new sets of magic tricks for his next show. What better time to test one then when talking to Caroline. Surely, she’d figure it out.

A sudden thump on the door brought him back to reality. Answering, he came face to face with the police. Had they discovered his true plan?
