"She would come through the breach to whack you with her spoon," I agree, and I can't help but chuckle when imagining it. "This is one of the many reasons why I love your mother. I think we have some important things in common."

Sometimes I think that it is a very good thing for men to have mothers who are in control, mothers who are not afraid to take charge. It means that these men will definitely respect women as they grow up. I know that Magnus will definitely trust my opinion when I have a strong one. This is why I am completely trusting that he will not go into this other Darrow, now that I've told him it'd be foolish to do so before knowing that it's safe.

But now that I think about it, I can imagine someone who might go over right away. I frown.

"Do you think maybe some people we know are already there? We should try calling. Oh, I can already imagine Jennifer going, just to get a leg up on me," I mutter. Jennifer's my biggest rival here in Darrow. She isn't exactly by the books like I am — she's the kind who is willing to go very far to get her hands on a piece of evidence. "I should get back to Melissa too, make sure she doesn't go. She's such a gossip that she might without thinking."
