Cynthia has no reason to believe the leaves in the bottom of her mug when they predict love in her future; she lives alone with her familiar, after all, so it must be a fluke. A fluke, except a gorgeous young teacher accompanies the latest fieldtrip to Cynthia's pumpkin farm, and the woman isn't scared off by Cynthia's awkward flirting. In fact, she returns it. But despite her familiar's urgings, Cynthia doesn't know what to do. October is her busiest time of year, but love doesn't steep on schedule.
