In the end, after a whole day of painstakingly moving that table—and no thanks to Maria—I managed to get it to block the way to the hidden door. Also, since it’d have been inconvenient to not have a table available, I had another, another, smaller one set up.

Rubbing my sore muscles, I snickered. “Heh heh! Try opening this door now, Lord Clarke!”

I felt a sense of accomplishment. I’d always been one step behind him. Just once, I’d wanted to come out on top. I was so sure he’d be shocked he couldn’t open this door anymore! Just thinking about it had me excited.

Even if the price to pay was these horrible muscle aches. I wanted to yell at people to stop making tables out of marble. They were way too heavy!

As I enjoyed the tea Maria had brewed for me just before leaving, the bookshelf began to rattle.

Ha! There it is!

Delighted, I approached the shelf. In spite of all the violent shaking, the table stood firmly in the way. All the bookshelf could do was rattle loudly until, finally, it stopped moving.

Lord Clarke must’ve stopped trying to get it to slide open.

A chuckle escaped my lips. “Finally! A win for Leticia!”

Oh, he must’ve been so vexed! I finally got to pay him back for all his relentless teasing. For once, he was getting a taste of his own medicine!

Satisfied, I returned to my chair. And then the door to the room made a clicking sound.

Huh?

Startled, I hesitantly looked to the source of the sound. The door slowly opened.

And there stood Lord Clarke, all smiles.

Surely you understand the fear I felt at that moment. He was clearly displeased. Nothing like his usual self.

“Lettie,” he said in a low voice.

“Y-Yes?” I stammered.

Yikes!

As I sat, trembling on my chair, he approached me. The main door was behind him. The hidden door was sealed shut. I was cornered.

Before I had the chance to look for another way out, Lord Clarke stood in front of me, leaning down to meet my gaze.

“Care to explain that, Lettie?” he asked, gesturing at the door I’d blocked.

“It’s a hidden door,” I answered.

“Lettie.”

Look, I knew he wasn’t asking what that was. He wanted to know why it wasn’t opening.

I opened my mouth to speak, trying to maintain my composure. “Well, I made it so it wouldn’t open...”

“Why?”

So you can’t come in here! was what I wanted to say, but was too frightened.

Why was he so mad over a little prank?

I lamented my carelessness. I’d thought that if I sealed off the hidden door, Lord Clarke wouldn’t have been able to come in...but of course he could just open the regular door. Rookie mistake.

“I, I mean, because, you know, I didn’t really want you to come over, and stuff...”

“Why?”

“Why, you ask?” I mumbled, fidgeting as I looked down.

“Lettie?”

Because your face is always all up in my face!

Heat rose rapidly to my cheeks. Having his face so close to mine all the time that I could feel his breath on my skin? Bad for my heart.
