Above all else, Selwyn was a planner. Though many were convinced that she simply acted out of spontaneity, most of her moves were well calculated beforehand.
But not this time.
She’d heard the news later than most, cooped up in a small corner of Lou’s Diner with a cup of coffee (three shots espresso and one scoop of white chocolate) filling out paperwork. And when she did, there was no force on Earth, magical or otherwise, that could stop her from seeking out Delphine Dupont. She had made a mistake years ago, not being there for Del after her kidnapping. The parallel of the current situation was not lost on her, and she had no intention of repeating one of her greatest regrets.
Selwyn stood on the driveway leading up to House Endine, more nervous and worried than she’d like to admit. Del would be closed off, she knew. Maybe even angry, because anger was easier than fear. Maybe the blonde would yell and kick at her. But it didn’t matter, because Selwyn was more than happy to stomach it all, if only she could catch a glimpse of her friend and confirm she would eventually be okay.
Sel concentrated on the house in front of her, pushing away at all the thoughts within until she found a familiar mind, one with just as many shadows as diamonds. Del. A short message, barely a whisper in the girl’s head, deliberately mild as to not scare her on top of the current situation.
