Therefore, she had never found this bottle before.
She should have seen it sooner!
Her lashes trembled slightly as she held the item in her hand.
Uncorking the bottle, Ariana employed her earlier tactic, skillfully substituting its contents with the

With this assumption, she set her phone aside and stopped pestering him.
After finding what she was Looking for, Ariana sat in the chaos she had created in the room. Realizing
the mess, she rose and began to tidy up, aiming to restore the room to its original state.
She didn’t want Theodore to return home and think he had been robbed.
The thought of Theodore reminded her of his unusual absence. She hadn’t seen him in a long time.
It would make sense if he was avoiding her, but even Horace was clueless about his Location.
At the time, she couldn’t discern if Horace was lying, but she couldn’t think of any hideouts that even he
wouldn’t know about.
