Standing in front of the large intricately designed doors in front of her, Ashley couldn't help but shrink in her shoulders. She felt hesitant the last minute she was about to enter the Imperial library. Each time she took a step, she would feel a bit guilty taking advantage of the fact that Ramier gave her his permission.
They weren't even talking!
She didn't want him to find her shameless but—Would he even talk to her if she seeked him out?
'Probably not...'
Admitting this fact to herself, she bit her lips and decided to swallow all the dread. Time waits for no man. If she didn't try to study reading now, then she wouldn't learn it sooner.
Ashley realized that the guards who were patrolling the area snuck glances at her like she was an oddball.
How can they not? When it was already their third time circling around the area and Ashley was still there going back and forth with an undecided expression!
