[/size]Renn gasped as the silvery strand which was strung between her wand and temple slowly ebbed from her mind. It was a curious feeling, not unpleasant yet? Odd. It was like something icey cold and slimy sliding through your fingers... Only worse, since it was through the skin, not the cracks.
She sighed happily as the last of the memory slid from her forehead and hung limply from the tip of her wand. Carefully Renn slid the strand into the basin she'd borrowed from Mrs Caulder and watched it slide beneath the surface and mixing with he rest of her liquid.
Memories... And not just memories... Her memories. The ones that, if her nerve held, she'd show to Dresden in a hope it would make him understand her her fears, her scars. If he saw these then maybe... just maybe, he might begin to understand why she reacted to him how she did. It wasn't that she didn't like him, or that she didn't trust him, only... Well maybe after he'd understand.
It was a little before 9, and just before Dresden was due to arrive Renn stuck her head into her room. Elise was sound asleep in her cot, dead to the world. Renn Smiled despite herself, the little girl looked so sweet.
Just as she turned away, and closed the door behind her, the doorbell rang.
Well... Here goes...
Renn headed down the stairs, softly as as not to wake the sleeping girl towards the door. She paused for a second and pushed her hair from her face, in an effort to calm her nerves, before opening the door.
"Uh... Hi..."
