Then something occured to her. Could someone take the staff from her? Yes, the old man said that she couldn't put it down, but what if she accidentally dropped it or someone tried to steal it?
"Jon?"
"Yes," Jon whispered, still.
"Try to take the staff from me, then give it back."
Jon grabbed the staff from her, then returned it.
So, Karyn thought. It can be taken away from me. I better keep a good grip on it.
"We're almost to your house, Karyn," Jon whispered, as he turned the corner onto Karyn's street.
"Good."
