Raena and Jaun exchanged a glance before they silently crept back toward the library.
The tension from their earlier escape still lingered in the air, but they were determined to avoid detection this time. The corridors were eerily quiet, and each step they took echoed slightly, but they moved with practiced caution. Their movements synchronized as if they had done this a hundred times before.
The dim light of the library came into view, and Raena let out a small sigh of relief.
"Heavens, finally..."
The library felt safer, almost like a sanctuary, even though it was the very place they had narrowly escaped from just minutes ago. Jaun's hand brushed against Raena's as they walked, sending a small thrill through her, but she quickly shook off the distraction. They needed to stay focused.
