What I wrote is technically true but it's just… missing several extremely suspicious details.
Soren glanced at the message.
His eyes narrowed slightly, like a man who suspected something but was currently too hungry to investigate it.
"Let's go then," he said, stretching his arms again. "I'm starving."
Before I could object, he finally scooped me up.
I allowed it this time though, because my priorities existed first.
As soon as he lifted me, I climbed onto his shoulder like a small albino general overseeing a battlefield.
From that position, I turned my head and locked eyes with Agatha then I quietly opened the delivery tab on my OmniSync.
Delivery ETA: 30-55 mins.
I tilted the screen so only she could see it then I quickly wrote another message on the hologram and tilted it toward her.
"Make sure to hide it."
Agatha nodded once with the calm expression of someone who had definitely helped conceal questionable purchases before.
Perfect. Mission saved. Or so I thought.
