A touch of home

"Nina, why did you sneak inside Penny's room? What did you do in there?"

Nina's entire body froze while holding Atlas's gaze with wide eyes. 

Why was Atlas in here?

Did he hear her screams?

Or was he following her from the start?

The corner of Atlas's lips curved down while thinking about how he got in there. 

Minutes ago, Atlas was so disturbed by the contest happening in the garden that he found himself leaving the library. He was curious about who would win between Penny and Mouse. It was silly of him, but he wouldn't be able to study with how loud the children were, anyway.
