Adrian’s POV
I noticed Nelissa moved cunningly. I felt she was up to something… or going somewhere.
I moved out of my room when I felt like she had gone a distance, then followed her. I noticed she was heading toward the elders’ office. I couldn’t tell the exact one, but the fact that she was going there was what mattered.
I slowed my steps, keeping my distance. Not too close or too far.
She stopped in front of one of the doors.
Knocked.
And went in.
My eyes lingered on the door for a second before I moved closer, careful, controlled. I didn’t stand directly in front of it.
I listened carefully.
Taking in every word, trying to grasp anything, anything at all, that I could use against them.
Luckily, I had brought my recorder with me.
My jaw tightened slightly, but I stayed still
