Leo’s hand was on my chin, turning my head and tipping it up so he could get a better look at the dark red stain on my throat. Harry had done her best, but there was only so much she could do in one night without overloading, so she promised she’d be back in a few days to get rid of the rest of the burns before the scars settled in. Judging by the grimace on Leo’s face, it still looked pretty bad. “Jesus, she really gotcha good, didn’t she?” Gentle summer heat crept over my jaw and up my cheeks, and I hoped it was due to his magic and not my face flushing at his close proximity.
