"Effy likes magic, not the stupid abracadabra sort. You know, she was 4 years old the first time she beat me at hide-and-seek, four. I was looking for her for hours. When I finally found her, she just smiled. You know that ‘Effy smile’, that means ‘You don’t know me at all… and you never will’? See, that’s the kind of magic. She’s so good at concealing things and hiding, avoiding. I do know her, and I know that she has got so much love in her heart, that the thought of letting it out, showing her cards, it scares her to death."
