His body craves rest, but his mind is fighting it. It’s like he’s at war with himself, and this kind of struggle could seriously harm him, maybe even lead to something catastrophic.”

Tarquin glared at Elysia for a long moment, searching her face for any hint of deceit. Finally, convinced she was telling the truth, he released his grip.

Elysia let out a silent sigh of relief and quickly carried out the acupuncture.
