After Vera explained to Evie about the offer Gideon had made to her, Evie's eyes widened, utterly shocked. She did not know that such things were possible.
"Tell me, Evie. That's the best decision I could do right now, right? If I take his power, I will be able to control him. Then he won't be able to leave me again." Desperation was brimming in Vera's eyes as she said those words. "I think that disaster happened because I didn't accept his offer! This time I'm really going to accept his offer."
Evie stared deeply into her friend's eyes, then she reached out and held her face.
"Vera… I understand your desperation right now. But I want you to calm down. We must think hard about this first before making a decision."
"But Evie, this is definitely the best decision I can think of. I didn't accept his offer and that was why all of that happened."
