Alexander’s eyes narrowed slightly, waiting for confirmation. “There is a way,” she added. Without wasting another moment, Helen moved quickly across the room.

Alexander watched her closely as she worked. Helen didn’t look up as she spoke again. “This will bind the flow between you and him,” she said.
