Negotiating with Cornelia
In Cornelia's room, Cornelia was tidying up her desk under James's watchful eyes that never left her.
Her room was spacious enough to allow for a queen-size bed, a work area with a desk and a chair, a sitting area with a sofa and a coffee table, a comfy-looking chaise under the window, and plenty of space between those to move about.
James observed that Cornelia's room had everything to make it cozy without being cluttered, but the best thing was that it carried the scent of wild berries that were sweet with just a pinch of tartness, James' favorite.
After a day with the witches, they had dinner, and James finally got his chance for some privacy with Cornelia.
Being in her room was like he got a peek into her past, something private; it was special.
