of green and pink string woven together on each wrist. Charlotte and Yvonne gaped at him, astonished by his massive and intimidating size.
“Wow!” Yvonne exclaimed.
“Pleased to meet you.” Perry’s lips curved in a shy smile.
“Ditto,” Charlotte said.
“Why do you like being a bird?” Yvonne asked.
Perry cocked his head at her, reminiscent of the way he’d done as a dove. “I don’t know.”
Perry exploded into a sparkling white mist then reverted back to a white dove that was perched on the coffee table. He flew across the room to the curtain rod above the living room window. Yvonne and Charlotte stared at him for a moment while he stared right back at them. Josephine read through the seven pages of Yvonne’s family enchantment so she would have an idea of how difficult the process would be. It was one of the more advanced and complicated spells she’d ever come across. She would definitely need Mark’s help to memorize it.
Charlotte leveled a wry look at her. “You can see why it takes years of studying and practice to learn the enchantment.”
“It’s very advanced magic,” Josephine agreed. “I can do it though.”
“You can?” Charlotte and Yvonne regarded her with astonished disbelief.
“I happen to know someone who can give me photographic memory for a short period of time.” Josephine’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“You’ve got some seriously talented friends,” Yvonne said.
Chapter 8
Josephine was starting to wonder if Alice was ever going show up that night when she finally arrived a little after nine. Josephine led her friend to the living room where Mark, Charlotte and Yvonne were waiting. Perry was perched on his favorite spot in the room on the curtain rods above the living room window in the form of a white dove.
“You must be Charlotte,” Alice said.
“Yes. It’s nice meeting you,” Charlotte said.
“Likewise.” Alice offered a faint smile then focused on Yvonne. “Hello, Yvonne. How are you feeling?”
“Fine.”
“Once we’re ready to get started, it will be best if you lie down because you will lose consciousness during the claro mentis enchantment,” Alice said. She turned to sweep her gaze over the others in the room. “Everyone but my patient will need to leave.”
“Um, Alice.” Josephine leveled a tentative smile at her friend. “There’s been a minor development.”
Alice narrowed her eyes at Josephine. “What kind of development?”
“It turns out that Charlotte is under the influence of the same mind control spell as her sister,” Josephine explained.
“What?!” Alice exclaimed with outrage. “I’m too old for this kind of nonsense! I’m retired for a reason!”
Yvonne and Charlotte looked worried.
“Maybe we should have a professional do this,” Charlotte said.
Alice whipped her head around to focus on the young woman with outrage. “I’m not some old has-been who can’t conduct a perfectly good claro mentis when I need to.”
“I didn’t realize you were retired. How old are you?” Charlotte leveled an assessing look at Alice.
“I’m a senior citizen. My age is on a need-to-know basis.” Alice’s vibrant green eyes flashed with ire while the smooth, flawless skin of her youthful face was taut with tension. She didn’t like to reveal that she was in her eighties like Josephine.
“How long ago did you retire?”
“About fifteen years ago.”
“No offense but I would rather have someone with more skill who’s currently working in the field do a claro mentis enchantment on me,” Charlotte said. “I’m afraid I’m not comfortable with this.”
Alice’s anger turned to affronted indignation. “I can outperform any of those young pups with one hand tied behind my back! You don’t need some worthless psychiatrist who’s still wet behind the ears. It takes many years of experience and hard work before you can cast a really good claro mentis. I’m the one you need. In fact, I can
