Lisa’s Concerned Look
As Lisa passed by the room, she caught my eye, her face clouded with a mix of worry and quiet apology. “They love making things complicated, don’t they?” she murmured.

Watching her in full command of her imaginary throne made the whole charade oddly entertaining—moments like these almost made it fun to keep the secret.
