Excerpt: Magical Girlfriend

"Why me?"

"I don't know. But I do know that I have enjoyed being with you these last two days."

"Give me a minute to take all this in..." Greta slumped into her chair at her computer. She looked at Selda out of the corner of her eye. Selda saw it and lifted the DVD again.

"Okay. I believe you. Just one thing: is anyone going to come for you?"

"I do not know. I don't believe so. I cannot explain why I feel so. I just feel confident."

"I hope so. I'd hate for some Man in Black to come knocking on my door looking for you."

Just then there was a knock on the door causing Greta to jump out of her skin.

"It is Hannah."

"How do you- Oh, right."
