~LESTER'S POV~
I swiftly respond to her text with a grin.
Me: I'm behind you, princess.
She turns around abruptly, surprised, and I greet her with a wide smile while adjusting my glasses.

"Wow. It's really amazing," she compliments, continuing to look around. "What's down there?" She asks, pointing down to the underground staircase.
"You want to see?"
She shrugs. "Well, I would love to."
