Maurice paused for a heartbeat before answering. “It’s on the second floor, the room by the window”
Quinlyn gave a brisk nod, her sharp eyes cutting through the room without pause as she started up the stairs. Her swift, resolute movements left the gathered crowdd in stunned silence until she disappeared into the upper floor.
