The Darkroom Secret

"Always here to protect my queen."

Isha slipped into the deserted classroom, shadows draping the shuttered windows. Heart fluttering, she tore the envelope open. In the dim stillness, the paper ignited—luminous neon paint tracing her face with radiant brilliance. Happiness flooded every nerve; he had captured her very soul. A tall silhouette suddenly lengthened against the floorboards. Gasping, Isha shoved the paper behind her and spun around in panic. The silhouette stepped forward, grinning. "OMG, you scared me!" She threw her arms around Sid's neck, kissing his cheek. "It’s breathtaking." "Always here to protect my queen," Sid murmured, holding her impossibly close.
