   Summary

   “Not quite yet,” Charles snags Edwin by the elbow before he can round the corner. “I hate to do this, really do, but I have to check.” Edwin breaks eye contact at once. He no doubt knows exactly what Charles is about to ask. “Are you entirely sure that there won’t be any demons about?”
