For a moment, Abrielle forgot everything, Cedric, the urgency, the danger. The picture stole all her attention. It felt as if she looked away, it would be a crime.
It was a drawing made of only black and white lines as it was drawn from memory. Each stroke touched her, the picture looked like it held high importance and important memories.
She had more important things to do, but her hands refused to let go of the picture. She was confused and didn't understand why Aurelius had a drawn picture of her in his study.
The person in the image was a striking image of her but yet it didn't seem like her. The way the eyes were depicted felt different. It looked like Abrielle but didn't feel like Abrielle.
She had a lot of questions for which she could not find any answers. The frame looked very old but well-maintained. It was an old picture but the question lingered.
Who was the lady in the picture smiling sweetly?
