"How do I look?" Laina asked as she struck a pose.
"Perfect as always."

Laina grabbed hold of Dante's hand and pulled him through the crowds of people. They came to a specific building on the side of the market square and took a spiral staircase that led them to the roof of the building.
"Where are you taking me?" Dante asked as they walked up the stairs.
"You'll see when we get there," Laina replied as they continued their ascent.
