522 James' realization (4)

James and Cornelia returned to the packhouse, and they could hear the commotion from the living room where cameras were being set up and there were several people checking the lights and making sure that the background for Marcy's upcoming public statement was perfect.

James looked at his hand that held Cornelia's and he didn't want to let go, but he knew that it could be troublesome if Marcy sees them like that. In just a bit, Marcy will be harmless, but until then, they all needed to stay vigilant.

The last hour passed like a flash. James and Cornelia walked in silence through the forest until they found a fluffy patch of grass and they decided to sit there.

James asked Cornelia to tell him something about herself, and he was surprised to hear that she came from a different realm and that she is a witch.

"Is that why you can feel the bond?", he asked.
