And he was not someone you knew?" Diane asked Mira, who didn't look like she was that interested in the conversation.
"If he was someone I knew, should you not know him?"
"Clearly not". Mira answered with a hint of sarcasm.
A head ache loomed above her temple from the sudden complication of the riddle she has been trying to solve. She folded the page just as she had seen it and dropped the book on the table.
Something warm touched her toes. She jumped out of her sit with a start. But when she looked down, it was just the tortoise.
Mira who had jump scare from her sudden scream shook her head in amusement.
"When are you going to get used to her, I'm sure she's getting tired of your scaredy little interactions".
Diane saw the shelly animal go back to hiding behind the table legs. She sighed.
"How did you know it's a she? Diane asked while she folded her hair up. It had been giving her an itch at the back of her neck.
