[ANDRE]
I looked up from the book I was reading when I heard someone entering the library. I was sitting in a secluded corner nook behind a shelf, and I didn't reveal myself as I waited for the person to enter my vision.
I groaned inwardly when I caught sight of caramel-brown hair appearing through the gaps in the bookshelf. What is she doing here? She doesn't even read! I tried to make myself as small as possible, ducking my head under the book to hide, like it was even going to do anything.
I listened as her footsteps got louder, then eventually grew fainter. Please don't look back, I silently pleaded.
Her footsteps grew louder again. "Prince Alexandre! Oh, there you are!"
It appears luck wasn't on my side. I sighed as I set the book down. "What brings you here, Lady Cecelia?"
She plopped on the armchair beside me and crossed her legs, leaning over the arm of the chair. "I knew I'd find you here."
