Chapter 12: Because we Fought
Before I could comment or ask more questions, Lumera gestured toward a door. "Anyway, here’s a room where the both of you can sleep."
Inside, the room was neat, with two single beds set up on opposite sides.
"You can push them together if you’d like," she suggested, her tone still chipper. "Need help?"
"Oh, it’s fine, we can leave them as they are," Scarlette quickly replied.
But then, of course, she had to add her own twist.
"Because we fought," she added quickly, eyes wide with fake innocence. "He’s not sharing with me."
She’ll be the death of me. That was not the time for a slip-up, not in front of Lumera. And that was certainly not how we were supposed to do this. Oh my gods.
We both smiled at Lumera as the door clicked shut behind us.
"Rest up!" Lumera’s voice floated through the door.
I turned my gaze to Scarlette, the smile quickly fading from my face. "I thought I was doing the talking."
"Why can’t I speak too?" Scarlette shot back, raising an eyebrow.
"Because you’re a bad liar. Didn’t you notice?" I replied sharply. "You’re almost messing up the plans."
