Balthazar didn't look back when he left.
"Now, my dear," the witch turned to her, "let me give you what that foolish boy paid for."

She swallowed, feeling each part of her that his gaze landed turn pink, like he was actually touching her. How was that even possible?

"Why does she want Nikolas to gain his humanity?"
