"A spell meant to summon a spirit?" Aunt Althea repeated what I told her with dread, shaking her head. "No way. Not happening."
I sighed heavily, rubbing the bridge of my nose.
After Regina had dropped the information about the spell and left Kaelos and me to "think about it", I had immediately run to Althea and told her.
We were currently sitting on a bench in the mansion's garden, our favourite spot.
"Aunt Althea, I—"
"No, Odessa." Althea shook her head yet again, this time getting on her feet with a trembling tone. "I understand your grief... But playing with the dead is not the best way to cope with Caroline's demise."
I bit my bottom lip, blinking at her back as the wind blew her purple robes into the air.
It was late in the afternoon but the clouds were still gloomy, coiling like they weren't done pouring rain on the earth.
