She wondered if her feigned innocence was too thick, if Jack could see right through her, but she had no idea what else to do other than play dumb. "The heard he's a potioneer these days." Not to mention her former flame, the one whose heart she wound up breaking in the process of shattering her own. But Jack couldn't know that, nobody could.
