Wednesday arrived with the same inevitability as death, taxes, and Felix wanting my notes. I hadn't slept much the night before—a combination of worrying about Iris, the mysterious photographer at the bubble tea shop, and Cassidy's quiz.
Mostly the quiz.
I arrived at the Valentine estate at exactly 3:15, having skipped Felix's invitation to join him for ramen. The security guard waved me through with almost no hesitation now, which either meant I was gaining their trust or they'd grown tired of checking my ID every single day.
Mrs. Tanaka opened the door before I reached it, nodding once in her usual silent acknowledgment of my existence.
"Library?" I asked.
"Miss Cassidy arrived ten minutes ago."
That was... unexpected.
