Chapter 41
Kaeleen’s POV
Astrid’s wide-eyed wonder as she stared at Shadow was priceless. I couldn’t help but laugh again, watching her try to process the fact that the woman she had trusted with her life was actually a man.
She peppered Shadow with questions, her curiosity insatiable. "But the breasts," she asked, her voice filled with genuine bewilderment. "How did you do the breasts?"
Shadow grinned, clearly enjoying the attention. He reached into his shirt and pulled out two silicone pads, holding them up for Astrid to inspect.
"Clever, huh?" he said, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "They’re lightweight and very realistic. You can even get them in different sizes."
Astrid examined the pads with fascination, turning them over in her hands, poking and prodding them. She listened attentively as Shadow explained the intricacies of his disguise, the makeup techniques he used, the voice modulator he employed. It was like she was taking notes, studying his every move, eager to learn the secrets of his craft.
The whole scene was so absurd, so surreal, that it made me laugh even harder. Astrid, the Luna who had endured so much hardship, was now geeking out over a pair of fake breasts. It was a testament to her resilience, her ability to find joy in the midst of chaos.
As I watched them, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw a text message from Rebecca.
’Is Astrid safe?’
Then one from Serena.
