That, it would. But I fear the Cauldron may keep you and I’m unwilling to share you, my love. Lore’s tone is so light it springs through my mind like the reflection of the sun on the mirror-smooth pool below. Perhaps avoid calling it a pool until after it breaks my curse. I suck in a breath and whisper, It can hear our conversation? Yes. Even if I whisper? Lore laughs. Yes, Little Bird, even if you whisper.
