Still. He stopped. Because as much as they liked to needle one another, Gideon supposed he could admit they were something close to friends. Or at least workplace proximity partners. "I don't know what they do or don't find pressing, Nerina. That's the whole point. You barely know this school and you're lurking."

Nerina didn’t mind that he was right. Okay, maybe she minded a little, but what she minded more was how serious he could be sometimes. It made her feel like her actions were childish or stupid and she didn’t like feeling that. Feeling like her parents would be disappointed in her.

”I don’t like that word.” Lurking. It certainly wasn’t a word that should be used in association with her. ”But I’ll allow mousing or slinking...and I’ll stop, even though I was doing it to get to know this school.” Learn her surroundings. Get the lay of the land.

The brunette stepped away from the door and smoothed her skirt. What’re you doing up here, anyway?”
