Characters: Fair Maiden, Himbo Witch
Summary:
The trouble about living in a tiny village in the woods, Vanessa knew, was that she was related to most of the town and the rest… well, she wasn’t interested in being related to them. The prospects for romance were… nonexistent. She’d half heartedly attempted to give some second and third cousins a shot, but she wanted more from life than finding someone she could tolerate and marrying them. She wanted excitement, adventure, and romance from her life. She loved her little cottage and the people she’d known all her life, but she didn’t feel confined to it in the way many others in town did. The only real problem was knowing where to go. She’d have to just wander from town to town to find someone if she didn’t find some way to know where to go. Vanessa knew she’d have to go find the witch.
