I spent about an hour with the Hensley girls, and enjoyed every minute of it. When I emerged from their quarters I felt much better about the whole situation. Yes, it was one coven and yes, that coven didn't carry a lot of clout. But I'd not only survived my first conversation with another leader, I'd made two friends.
Gram was still sulking when I let my shields down as I stepped into the hall, their door swinging shut behind me.
Next? I didn't apologize. I had nothing to apologize for. Gram grumbled a bit, but relented after a moment.
Summon the twins. Her mental voice was sullen. And stop patting yourself on the back. That was the easy one. Don't get cocky.
I held my temper and was even sweet in my reply. Yes, Gram.
More grumbling. This was actually kind of fun.
My mind reached out, touched Estelle and Esther. Impossible to catch them as individuals. The power of the Lawrence sisters was so intertwined it was like speaking to one person.
I need you.
