My quote:

" Time can be stayed, but it cannot be forced to run backward. I cannot offer youth as you knew it fifteen years ago. What I can offer is the chance for you to remain the age you are.
Are you actually telling me that if I were to take part in this heathen ritual I would never age a day pas thirty-five? I regarded her incredulously. What would you want for me in return-my immortal soul?"

This explains so much up untill this point. When you reed it, the pices are starting to fall into place. The book starts to make some sence. And that she is even mentioning the part about what she wants in return ( when she askes if she wants her immortal soul in return) it kind of shows that she might be that desperate. I think she might even tought to consider the possibility of giving up her soul for eternal youth. And it is a scary thought.
