Wafers & Wishes reminded me that while you can hope for love and do small things to attract it, you can never force a person to feel love through magic or spells. Ms. LaRue has given a very sweet story to this digest that you will love.

  Excerpt

Kayne Niam stood at the window of his shop, watching Spellfire in all it’s early morning glory. This truly was a magical place. He could truly, never be this happy anyplace else on earth. He pursed his lips at that thought. He loved Spellfire and he was happy. But he was damn lonely. He was a healer, helped many with wounds on their bodies, hearts and souls. He baked a wafer for everything. But, no wafer would help him, not the way he helped the others.

Wishes and Wafers was established right on the main street next to the Candied Kisses sweets shop. Candy Piper was a beautiful woman. He had always thought so. The day she walked down the isle he had smiled and wished her all the luck in the world. Beautiful she was, but for him, she was not. Candy spent most of her days now in the big house her new husband had built for her, but she still popped in from time to time. Checking on her shop and saying a hello to him when she did. He envied her husband.

Kayne knew jealousy didn’t cause his envy. The bond the couple shared—like all the other couples of the town—he craved the bond, but he had yet to find his other half. Though he knew she was out there. He could feel her, like a pulse inside of his veins. His dreams were more frequent, dreams of a small house, built in a sparkling meadow, a far cry from his small home above his shop.

He thought once again about his idea to draw her to him. Though he was mainly a healer, he wasn’t without other means. Just a small spell so he could catch a glance of the woman meant for him and give him something to look forward to and smile about each day.

Without a conscious thought, he ignored the sign on the door, choosing to remain closed today. Today was the day Kayne would catch a glimpse of his future.

He drew the shades closed, and walked into the back room. His baking area glistened and his ingredients were lined up on the counter for the work today. He knew he couldn’t eat a wafer and make a wish, but, he could make one especially for her so she would seek him out. He knew the chances were slim, but maybe by the end of the day, he would at least know her.

He began to mix his batter. All the while in his mind repeating the litany of his deepest desire, to see the woman who held his heart, even though she was not aware of the fact.

“Show her to me. Bring her to me.”

For years, he helped the true hearted patrons reach for and obtain their greatest desire. It was his turn to try a little of the magic himself.

When his batter began to thicken, he poured the small amount onto a sheet, and with knowing hands, molded it into the image of a woman. He could feel his hands grow warm and knew the energy was pouring from him into his creation. Kayne had no idea of her true image, but he allowed his heart to guide him.

Once the shape took form, he brought his hands over the little woman made of sugar and spice, and he hovered, focusing his energy. His hearts wish and his deepest desire began to seep from his fingertips into the dough. His chant occupied his mind fully, banishing other thoughts and a light emanated from his hands, slowly chasing away the darker shadows from the dimly lit room. The power of the spell grew stronger, and the light became brighter until—with a flash—all of the energy infused the now golden wafer.

Finished and drained, Kayne retreated into the storefront. He discovered morning had passed, and the afternoon sun was peeking through the blinds. He sat in a corner booth, waiting. If he worked each step of the spell properly, she could be here anytime. The door was locked, but she would find a way inside. That is how he knew it would truly be her. He rested his elbows on the table and waited.
