The moonlit kiss lasted a long time, and it was only after they finally walked away that Shard and Miss Lathis revealed themselves.
Miss Lathis watched their backs, while Shard bent down to pick up two pages from the ground, carefully folding them and putting them in his pocket. These two pages would still be very useful to him:
"If judged by the standards of a play or opera, the tension and impact of the final scene are clearly insufficient."
Shard remarked.
"But real life isn't a play; plainness is the main theme of life. I quite like the ending of this story. I just didn't expect Maggie did such a thing in Velindale."
Miss Lathis said, watching their fading backs.
"Let's go back. Margaret should be coming out soon."
Shard said, and Miss Lathis nodded, but then suddenly asked:
"By the way, I've been curious since just now, why did you run over to the stables? You yourself said that you were the first to arrive at the stables, and Mr. Enriques suddenly appeared afterward."
