"No attic and no basement." I'm starting to think that Leo lied to me, but if that's true, why is Nefera sensing magic? "Is it possible you're smelling something she did before?" I hate doubting Nefera's ability, but we're coming up empty.

"No, I don't think you can smell spells. I... sense energy." Frowning, Nefera looks through the kitchen cabinets. "I can taste it."

"I don't know where else to look." We'd searched every room, including the laundry. But, not surprisingly, she didn't have a washer or dryer. "We need to go back... Do you think you're up for shifting again?"

"I don't know." Toying with her bottom lip, Nefera glances at the clock on the mantel. "I don't know how I did it the first time."

"I'll help you this time." I didn't mind giving her a ride back if she couldn't, but I wanted her to have the chance to get used to it. The more practice you get during the first few weeks, the better.
