"Until you each pay me a total of £10,000 you will both be cursed" Elspeth informed the pair dispassionately.
"Yeah, well good luck with that" Nicola folded her arms dismissively "I think we'll take the pretend magic spells on us and keep our money. Right James?"
"We really can't afford that" James half apologised. He couldn't see how they owed that much money and wasn't going to be intimidated into paying up by this nonsense even if he could have.
"So go on, humour me" Nicola scoffed "what are we cursed with?"
"From now on you will get whatever you ask for" Meredith smiled cooly.
"That's good isn't it?" James was momentarily confused.
"Oh hang on, this is going to be one of those stupid corrupted wishes things isn't it?" Nicola realised perceptively " I haven't seen one of those since I stopped watching children's cartoons. Honestly, at least try and come up with some vaguely plausible mumbo jumbo next time you try and scam a customer"
"Very well, if that is your decision you are both free to go" Meredith seemed strangely amused by the whole exchange "If you change your mind you know where I am"
"Yeah, well don't hold your breath waiting for us" Nicola called over her shoulder as she and James left the shop, blissfully unaware of what would happen to them over the next few days.
