"I haven't done anything" Meredith answered matter of factly "This was all your doing, and frankly it was for the better. I doubt she's ever been this happy in her life."
As if to illustrate the point she ruffled Nicola's long, brown hair affectionately. The young woman responded by panting happily and sticking out her tongue.
"But this isn't right." James argued "You've had your fun, now it's time to restore her. Or I will"
Meredith laughed and grabbed a long, wooden object from a shelf behind her counter.
"You hear that girl? He wants to take my gorgeous little doggie Nicola away from me" Meredith mocked, clearly enjoying toying with her guests.
Nicola growled with dissaproval.
"Well, don't fret" Meredith continued, pointing the wand at James "We can soon put a stop to that"
