His hand on her's made her pause, but it was his reasoning that had her lowering it under his. She wasn't happy about it, but he had a point. For all they knew, this mirror was their only way back, and breaking it could destroy that chance entirely.

She looked compelled as she moved towards it, even eager. She recognized that voice, and she remembered the powerful caress of his magic as it ran through her. She wanted it again. She could
taste it on the tip of her tongue.
