Darren's POV
Once Kristin entered, I asked her to shut the door. I pulled my drawer open, pulling out a wooden talisman. I bit my thumb, dropping my blood on it. Instantly, there was a low hum that lasted for five seconds.
"Now we can talk without her hearing us."
"I never knew you had a silence talisman."
"I've never had to use it till now."
Silence filled the air. I shut my eyes, my head tossed back, deep in thought. Kristin watched me with her legs crossed, sitting across me.
"What do you think of Janet's offer?"
"Honestly, it's amazing. You get all your stuff back from the witches and, most importantly, a witch bride. But she seems suspicious."
"It looks too good to be true. Like there's a hidden agenda."
"I feel the same, but I really can't tell. Plus her skill of reading souls sounds so…"
