Chapter 33: Suspicion

He glanced around before walking out of the garden. He was sure no one was around but then as he looked up, he bumped into Cecil, who eyed him curiously. "Coming out of the garden?" Cecil asked, his tone laced with curiosity.

Luis didn't respond, instead asking, "What have you been up to lately Cecil? You rarely come home."

Cecil chuckled, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "You know, here and there. How about you? What's new?"

Luis shrugged, his expression neutral. "Where are you headed?"

"Why are you asking questions without answering mine?"Cecil asked with a nervous and short laugh, his gaze narrowing on Luis.

Luis met Cecil's gaze, his expression calm as usual. Cecil looked ahead, seeing the glass door leading to the garden," You're coming from in there. How'd you get in?" He was now more suspicious than curious.
