Fresenia

Jerry sticks her left middle finger to her forehead.

Professor Stone smiles at her, urging her on.

Tentatively Jerry whispers. “Fresenia.”

A calmness washes over her. She remembers crying, but is having trouble understanding why.

“There, isn’t that better? How do you feel?”

Jerry grins. “I feel great. What did the spell do?”

“It removes guilt and suppresses your conscience.”

Jerry gives a little frown.

“Don’t worry, if it comes back you can cast it again. After a few more times it will disappear altogether.”

Jerry feels like that should bother her, it doesn’t.

“Cool.”

“Now, Jerry how do you feel about what Sebastian did for you?”

Again, Jerry feels like she should feel bad. “It was great. He is, like, wrapped around my finger. I could get him to do almost anything, couldn’t I?”

“Yes, and you’ve barely scratched the surface, Jerry. See you at class tomorrow.”

Jerry grins. “I can’t wait. I have to get back to the party now.”

Jerry strides back Into the party smiling. She spots Maddy. Jerry wonders where she has gotten the sexy black dress. It makes her breasts look enormous. She sees Barb with a vape. Sebastian is by the bar.
