A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Wendy’s heart skipped a beat the second she caught a glimpse of Arielle stepping inside the doors of the library.

Determined to not allow Aaron to see Arielle, she shot in front of him and obscured his line of sight. With a wry smile, she said, “Actually, there’s nothing interesting to see there, so why don’t we head over to the school museum first?”

That confounded Aaron. “Didn’t you just tell me that the library here is the grandest one amongst all within Chanaea’s higher institutes of learning? Why aren’t we going in now that we’re here?”

“It’s because…” Wendy hastily tried to cook up something. “It suddenly occurred to me that no matter how big or impressive libraries are, they’re kind of the same anyway.”

“I won’t argue against that.”

That offered Wendy a moment’s breather until Aaron added, “But since we’re already here, we might as well go in and check it out.”

Wendy’s chest tightened and she looked to intervene, but Aaron was already headed inside.
