Elizabeth stood restless in her office as she seemed to be waiting for something.
Pacing back and forth, her auburn hair bounced about while she mumbled something to herself.
The pale yellow light of the gas lamps placed on either side of the room helped to reveal her expression which bordered between worry and skepticism.
Taking a deep breath, she soon came to a stop at a corner of her office which was packed with several wooden boxes with documents stacked together in a pile.

She let out a sigh as she picked up one of the documents in the pile.
Casually going through it, she sought to calm herself with some light reading but hardly had she started when a knock was heard at the door, jolting her from her intentions.
