Helanie:
Our anticipation was on the roof as we watched Luna Estella. If she could give us any clue that we didn't know about the tenth floor already, we might use it to find a way to help Lucy.
"The tenth floor--" Lady Estella began, her voice carrying a mysterious undertone. But just as she was about to reveal more about her time at the academy, the sudden arrival of Jenny's father, Lord Dewitt, silenced her.
"Your Highness," Lamar and I quickly stood to bow. With a swift gesture, he motioned for us to sit back down. He carried himself with an effortless elegance, surprising for a man who was the father of two grown adults. Tall and broad-shouldered, he cut an imposing figure in his black suit.
"I heard Jenny's friends were visiting, and I couldn't miss the opportunity to meet them," he said smoothly, taking a seat beside his wife. I noticed her flinch ever so slightly at his proximity. His aura was a lot darker than his smile.
