Violet was a bundle of nerves, and tomorrow night seemed like an eternity away to her. She knew all too well what Quintessa had in mind, and the mere thought of the upcoming events sent shivers down her spine.

Violet emphasized each word with grave intensity, "You must bring her back unharmed."

Reuben, a bit taken aback, acknowledged with a firm nod, "Yeah, I'll protect Quinn, no matter what."
