[Margaret's Perspective]
I turned my attention to Elizabeth and said, "Turn around. I'll see if I can untie you."
I tried to find a gap in Elizabeth's knots, but I didn't have any experience with ropes. It was hard. In the end, I had to admit that I had to give it up for some other plan.
I directed Elizabeth to bring her hands around from behind as I had done. It would make the body feel better.
Elizabeth also tried to untie the ropes on my hands. She tried to use her sharp and long nails to create some space between the knots on my wrists, but they were tied too tightly.
I closed my eyes and tried again to find a connection to Donald in my mind. Our special senses as mates allowed us to bridge the distance between us. I felt the wall again, but it didn't seem as strong as before. This meant that the potion's effect on me was weakening. When the wall disappeared, I would be able to connect with Donald.
