End Recap
Ella's head shot up. Her eyes were read and swollen, and her breathing was ragged. "What do you mean?"
"Put yourself in his shoes. If you thought you knew someone enough to say that you loved them, then you find out that they had gone off and married behind your back, what would you do?"
"I…I don't know."
"Exactly. Char was confused, and this was his way of finding out the truth."
"But what do I DO?" Ella asked desperately. "I can't tell the truth-" She broke off, seeing Mandy's look. "But I CAN'T!! What about the stupid curse??"
"I'll deal with that." The answer and tone of voice scared Ella. Mandy left Ella sitting there, dumbfounded.
Ella was still sitting there half an hour later, when Mandy returned. She gave Ella a pen and paper, and said, "Try to write. And please don't lie: tell the truth."
"But- the curse-"(A/N-pretend that Lucinda didn't learn her lesson, k?)
"I got Lucinda to take care of it." Mandy's tone scared Ella enough to not say anything. But soon…
"Can we test it? Please"
Mandy sighed. "All right then. Put on your coat Ella." Ella's hands reached for her coat out of habit, but stopped experimentally. She felt fine, great in fact, until… the nausea and headache hit her at the same time, causing her to double over. She reached for the coat blindly, and put it on. Panting slightly, she looked at Mandy with reproach. Mandy was frowning dangerously.
"That Lucinda! She still thinks this 'gift' is wonderful. Now this calls for drastic measures."
