“How did I end up back here?” she asked, lying down.

Despite his irritation at being slapped earlier, the doctor replied truthfully, “Master Lucius brought you back.”

“Lucius brought me back?” Violet asked, doubtful. She wondered if there were problems with her hearing, or perhaps there was something wrong with the doctor’s eyes.

Surprisingly, the next morning, Lucius appeared in her room.

“Turn your head here,” he said sharply.

Violet slowly turned her head toward him, feeling his cool fingers soothe her neck.
