preparing the critical move
Underneath her calm exterior, Elara was meticulously preparing for a critical move. She spent nights compiling documents and gathering every piece of evidence she needed.
‘This has to be foolproof,’ she thought, double-checking her plans. She kept her intentions hidden, showing no signs of distress.
Every word she spoke to Caden was calculated, meant to keep him oblivious. Her preparation was exhaustive, making sure nothing was left to chance as she readied her surprise.
