long since I’ve been around someone new. I can’t image how strange that must be

the side of the staircase. He slid his hand down the deep engraving of a petal
and rolled his index finger over a small bump. There it was revealed, a secret
door leading to a small platform and another staircase going down into
darkness. Mira followed him down the staircase, after a slight hesitation,
until they reached the bottom, where Giovanni switched on the lights. Right
away, Mira blinked her eyes rapidly from the shock as they adjusted from total
darkness to extreme brightness.
