Zach guided the key toward the brick wall with a frown. Right before the key made contact with the stone, he turned back.
"This isn't a prank or anything, right? You're not making a fool of me for trying to stick a key into a solid wall?"
"No." Lexi shook her head. She could understand Zach's worry. If it hadn't been a Wishing Key and instead an ordinary key leading to another room in the castle, she might have done just that. But she was serious.
"...Then, how come you aren't trying to put your hands on it? Don't you have anything you wish for?"
"Not really. Not anymore." Lexi shrugged. "Besides, you're the one who earned it. I'm not such a bitch that I would steal from my little brother, you know?"
"What about that watch when we were little?"
"What watch?"
"You know, the one with silver—"
"I don't remember a watch like that. Just stick it in already!"
