After dinner, Daliah pretended to leave, but instead, she quietly hid nearby—determined to see what Rowan and Logan were really up to.
She had a hunch that her brother was involved in something… suspicious. Or at the very least, interesting.
When she saw the two of them heading toward the underground cellar, her suspicions only grew stronger.
So she waited. Right outside the stairway door, wearing her fancy teddy bear slippers.
Waiting wasn't exactly her favorite thing to do, but she really wanted to catch her brother red-handed.
She could have gone all the way down to the cellar herself… but truth be told, she didn't like that shady place at all.
Time slowly passed.
Thirty minutes slipped by, and she was starting to wonder if she should just give up and go back.
But her patience didn't go to waste.
From the dim stairwell, she finally saw Rowan and Logan coming back up—faces rising from the shadows as they climbed.
At last, they stepped out into the corridor.
