NO CATHERINE. JUST AN ARROW.
VINCENT WRAPPED UP A FEW SWEETROLLS FOR LATER THOUGH.
Vincent hustles from the dining chamber back into the corridor. So many pathways she might have taken. He taps a message on the nearest pipe.
Catherine? Where? Anyone?
The subsequent silence seems long.
Wait … is that a reply?
He presses an ear to the pipe.
MOUSE’S CHAMBER
A PACKAGE IN HER HAND
SAID IT ‘S AN EARLY ANNIVERSARY GIFT
MAYBE DON’T LOOK
It was a long way to the deep chamber, but he knew a shortcut.
IT WOULD STILL BE A CHALLENGE
April 12th is their special day, so he has plenty of time
to acquire his own ANNIVERSARY GIFT.
WILL VINCENT FIND CATHERINE IN MOUSE’S CHAMBER?
