His eyes widened. His mouth dropped open, then curved into a foolish smile. ‘Who are you?’ ‘I’m Selene, don’t you remember?’ ‘If I’d met you before, I’m sure I’d remember,’ the prince said. ‘Yeah, right,’ Selene said, shuddering. She clearly hated the prince’s attention. ‘Listen, will you do me a favour?’ ‘Anything for you, sweet Celery!’ Selene growled. ‘It’s Selene, not Celery,’ she said. ‘Give me that Orgmelter.’ As if in a trance, the prince handed over the weapon.

Selene popped the Orgmelter into the bits and bobs drawer. ‘Lock it,’ she said and the drawer disappeared into the smooth wall of the Bridge.
