I found a book in the library called 70 fail safe ways to Charm a witch. I hired it, and was reading through it that night.

1. Compliment her – she likes it.

2. Don't tell everyone you like her.

3. Do impressive things – but don't make it seem like you're going out of your way to.

See? Fail safe ways. Theo thought I was crazy – and maybe he was right. I hadn't picked up a book for ages, why should I now?

Because I was fascinated by her.

You know who I mean, right?
