Fair exchange

Neven decided to wait for his father's friend before moving. He wished to help Vera, but he wasn't sure how to move.

First of all, he had to solve that damned curse. Thankfully, he had some power over it. He could simply avoid anger, but for how long? He was doomed to ask Vera nothing because of his fear to hurt her again.

The General might have thought he did him a favour, delivering an obedient witch. However, that had brought more trouble than not.

For that, Neven needed to move fast and play it smart. As such, he scheduled a meeting at the agency soon after returning from their mission. He had left Vera at the office to write reports, and he had headed away soon after.

There was no need to let her know he was going to the agency, for he was sure she would worry more than him. He wasn't keeping it secret for his own good, but for hers.
