A RED HAT READS TIKI BEACH!

Episode 6:

I swallowed a spoonful of Artie’s delicious stew before answering Opal’s question. "Pua Chang has been asking questions all morning. About the tea party."

"That woman," Opal clicked her tongue disapprovingly. “She’s my friend and I love her, but she’s always digging for gossip."

"She mentioned Pearl talking about 'making things right' at some bridge game last week." I studied Opal carefully. "And something feels off about the whole situation. I can't stop thinking about Tiki's reaction to that tea."

Artie's hands stilled on the counter. "Your cat's got better instincts than most people I know."

Opal jiggled the bag of runes in her pocket; they made a dry rustling sound. "I've been thinking about it too, Kat. There was something... unusual about yesterday."
