Aurora“Hey… why did you do that?” I asked, lightly hitting him over the shoulders.“That’s because you weren’t looking.”“But I was,” I countered immediately.He shook his head, a teasing smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Liar. You can’t even miss the hint written all over your face.”And he was right. We both burst into laughter, the sound carrying easily through the quiet surroundings. The day had gone so smoothly and perfectly, almost as though the events of the previous night had never happened.For a moment, it was easy to forget the fear, the questions, and the uneasiness that had settled inside me.Kelvin had taken me on a tour around the mansion, and I had to admit, it was a wealthy pack. An ancient one, filled with countless riches, mysteries, hidden histories, and so many other things I was yet to uncover.Every corner seemed to hold a story of its own.Still, somehow, it didn’t feel like I had seen enough.
