Katie's TV Magic

You may remember that Katie's mum is single

because she does not live anymore with Katie's dad.

A few episodes ago she met somebody she really liked.

His name was Shumash and he was an estate agent.

Her little romance did not last very long because Shumash's mother did not approve of him dating

a witch.

But maybe that's a little difficulty that can be overcome.

What do you think?

When Shumash ran Katie's mum and his name and his picture lit up on the screen of her phone,

she was, well, just a touch nervous.

I know he's just ringing about business, she said to herself, and in a way, she was right.

Hello Doreen, he said.

We haven't actually mentioned this before, but Katie's mum's real name is Doreen.

Hello, Shumash, she replied.

It's lovely to hear your voice. And then she wished she hadn't said that because

really she wanted to come across as quite cool about hearing from him. Have a favour to ask,

he said. Go on, said Katie's mum, quite pleased,

because she would like to help him out.

"'Can I borrow your house?'

"'Borrow my house?

Why would you want to do that?'
