Athena's fingers trembled slightly as she clutched the book in her hands, her heart pounding from the near disaster of being caught.
The moment the library door had creaked open, she had barely managed to put Mors' diary back in its place, erase her fingerprints, and wipe the camera footage before throwing herself into the nearest chair, pretending to be lost in a random book.
But now, with Mors standing right in front of her, his sharp gaze analyzing her every movement, she felt the weight of suspicion pressing down on her.
He smirked, holding the book she had grabbed in a hurry, flipping it upside down as he studied the cover.
"You're learning how to read words upside down? Interesting," he teased, amusement dancing in his dark eyes.
Athena forced a small chuckle, playing along. "Well, I have to keep myself sharp. Who knows when I'll need to read something from a difficult angle?"
