บท 323: A Friend

Nora stared at Isabella who stared back at Nora. The two girls were engaged in a staring contest, which neither was willing to lose out on. With each passing second the intensity of the contest increased. Nora broke the silence, her voice laced with sly curiosity. "Alright, Bella baby. Truth time. What's the secret you're hiding?"

"I haven't lost yet, sweetheart. I am going to be the one who wins today. Not even the strongest gust of wind can make me blink."

Nora scoffed at that," You'll blink first. Mark my words. And then I will know why you are hiding here with me."

"There is no way you can make me talk, darling." Isabella smiled, even as her eyes threatened to water. She could not blink today or everything would be blown. Nora was already suspicious.
