Characters: Lane Williams, Lucy Saxon Location: the library Link to IJ: thread #13187 |
 Lane finally found a library - volumes of books from floor to ceiling, couches, overstuffed armchairs and tables with lamps scattered here and there. The lack of dust was a clue to something, but he couldn't place it just yet - other than everything appeared a bit too perfect. Best way to make an uneasy crowd was to give them everything they wanted... lull them into a state of complacency.
With a shrug he perused the titles until he found one that would at least make him feel like he was doing something about figuring out what was going on with this place and settled onto one of the couches. After while he saw movement near the door and glanced up, flicking a polite grin in greeting. |
 A person. At last. And this was at least the kind of place she felt comfortable. It reminded her of home.
Pushing the door open, Lucy gave a polite smile. "I didn't realise there was anyone here." It didn't seem enough, so she tried again. "I was looking for Harry." |
| Lane peered at her from over the top of his book. "Harry? Don't know a Harry, sorry. What's he look like?" |
| She studied him coolly. "About your height. Far better looking, of course. He's my husband."
Or would be, assuming his plan had worked. She'd found it hard to believe, at first, but after seeing the end of the universe, nothing was impossible any longer. |
