Chapter 32: Object of my Affection

The atmosphere in the room became a little stuffy as the only sound that could be heard was the sound of books as she piled them on one another. 

Neera wished she had not seen that picture; now she did not know how to act. She decided to pretend that nothing happened, since Zavian was not talking about it. 

  After she placed the books on the table, she stood by the side as she waited for his command. 

  He seemed like he had found what he was looking for, as he shifted the books on the table to the side and opened a letter that was sealed. Neera wondered what was in the letter that he was looking for so intently that early morning.

She watched him read through the letter, then he put it back into the envelope and placed it by the side of the table.
