Swept me off my feet...

Selene POV

The silence lingered, putting me on the edge as I stared at the grey-haired woman whose eyes were boring into me as if she knew who I was. I could see Faustina and Brenna tightly clasping their hands with their eyes shut waiting for a word from the woman. 

An eternity later, the grey-haired woman cleared her throat and came towards me, wearing a pleasant smile "I'm sorry, Lisa but we cannot give you an answer now. We have to do some background checks and a bunch of things. Can you bear with us for a little while, we'll ask either of your friends to tell you the outcome,".
