Zack pored both of us on the back. "Since everything's okay now, how about treat you both to dinner? We must be starving"

Emma nodded enthusiastically. "Ineed to buy some sage leaves tomorrow to get rid of this bad luck."

We left the police station happily, chatting in the ear about where to eat

Zack looked at me but said nothing, eventually leaving with Emma.

I looked down at my clothes and, sure enough, they were completely dry.

He got into the car, wiped his rain-soaked face with a vigorous motion, and gave me a goofy smile.

Instinctively, I reached out to touch his face, but the special ringtone from his phone interrupted me, and I quickly pulled my hand back.
