Chapter 93

Carina's POV

I've learned a fair number of things since stepping into this witch world, never to curse out loud, never be so open with your discontent, never correct a witch when they're talking about a spell, and never assume you're not being watched 

I knew the gist of that, but no amount of mental preparation was enough for me to stand face to face with the young master of the Ruberiden household, when he rounded that corner it was like the world stopped, the air got a little fresher and the sun shined a little brighter as a soft hallow of light descended on him like a spotlight, when his eyes met mine my brain froze like an old company, slow, static and fragmented, the sudden longing unnerved me, the shock from the realization was enough to zap some sense back into me
