“Or perhaps you could do me a favor and ask your teacher to prepare more of that headache remedy. I’d make it worth your while, of course.”
Stella’s expression didn’t shift. “The formula calls for an ingredient that’s no longer available. It’s difficult to replicate now. That said-”
“That said what?”
Jasper’s pulse quickened. He tried to keep his voice steady, but the urgency bled through.
“A headache doesn’t automatically require my teacher’s specific remedy to treat.”
