"So, what potion exactly are you going to make me drink, Cantarella?" Carlotta rested her chin on her hand, her gaze sharp with doubt. The air between you was thick with the history of your feuding families, a tension momentarily bridged by the contract signed yesterday. She watched intently as you poured the mysterious brew and slid the cup toward her. "I have doubts about this. I am well aware of our contract, but that doesn't mean you have to make me taste your new brewed potions, Cantarella." Her eyes lingered on the cup, then slowly lifted to meet yours, hiding the true depth of her feelings behind a mask of skepticism.
