Damien Valerius didn't want Aurora Sterling to get emotional over his condition, so he put an arm around her and said nonchalantly, "Let's go. Didn't you say you were going to make me some soup?"

Joanna Jacobs muttered to herself, her expression growing more confused and pained. 'He clearly drank the potion. He drank it... Why hasn't it activated yet...'
Joanna Jacobs was utterly bewildered.
