Sabbath laughed as she revealed her hidden wand, “I knew it”, although he was sure she wouldn’t hesitate to use it to handle trouble as their history in this part of town was no laughing matter.

Sabbath noticed that she had gone quiet and although he didn’t show it, he was perplexed by her reply because he’d not received the ring back from her when they'd broken up, in fact, he’d never given it a thought until the day he saw it just sitting there on his bedside table the day after her visit. He thought perhaps she’d removed it or lost it whilst there.

He watched as she studied the ring, turning it over in her fingers. Mention of his family made his thoughts turn to them, he knew that only one other ring like this one existed, but that was very far from here... he was certain that it was. He glanced at the ring in her fingers, then he looked at her, he thought she looked ok, seemingly unharmed... “Nells, when you sent it back to me.... did you send it by owl?”
