With little success, Nessa had been working on unlocking Cain’s partition for a week. She had begun to show signs of frustration with low growls and what Clara could only assume were curses in a different language.
But, in the past two days, her mood had improved. When Clara asked if she had made any progress unlocking the partition, Nessa smiled but shook her head.
Clara sighed as she continued searching her paper files for anything that might be useful, but she had no real luck.
Then she heard Nessa giggle.
Clara furrowed her brows and looked past the filing cabinet.
Nessa stared at her screen, a slight grin on her face, and then another giggle.
“Nessa doesn’t giggle….” Clara whispered to herself.
She set down the file she had been looking through and made her way through the stacks to where Nessa was stationed.
Seeing Clara approaching, Nessa hit several keys and turned to face her girlfriend.
“Hey,” Nessa smiled. “What’s up?”
