Iris's feet were already hurting and they hadn't gotten out of the colossal mansion. Calixto was walking briskly and her small feet had a hard time catching up. She was almost half-running next to him who didn't seem to notice that she was having a hard time.
A huge sigh escaped her lips when she saw a huge door in the distance and in her relief, she groaned.
"Are you tired?"
Iris scoffed and rolled her eyes at Calixto. He had the audacity to ask her when he could see her sweat falling like waterfalls from her temples. She didn't know because of the distance that they walked or because of the man whose stare seemed to still linger at the back of her head.
Calixto stopped walking and held her shoulder, making her halt her steps.
"If you're tired, you have to tell me," he said in a scolding tone.
Iris wanted to answer back but the concern that she could hear in Calixto's voice made her stop.
