Nora's POV
"Finished." I place the final protection charm beside the others on Lena's kitchen counter and search the house for James. He stands in the front hall, keeping watch through the windows. "Actually, hold on." I pull open cabinet doors and rifle through drawers. "Where does she keep pens and paper?" I grumble under my breath, abandoning the kitchen for the home office. The printer yields blank sheets, and I snag a pen from the desk.
My handwriting flows across the page as I compose instructions for Lena. Sure, my sister survived medical school, but I want to be absolutely clear about how these protection charms work. I leave the note beside the necklaces and make my way back through the house.
