He didn't expose her; instead, he motioned towards the path ahead, saying, "Let's go, the library is open now."
Thalassa pondered for a moment. Since she was here, why not take a tour of her old haunt? It had been years since she last visited her alma mater.
Back in the day, the library was indeed her favorite hangout. She wondered if it had changed much.
So, Leopold and Thalassa walked in tandem and headed towards the library.
Upon arrival, they were stopped by a security guard, "You're not students here, are you? The rules state that only current students are allowed in the library."
Thalassa, disappointed, looked at Leopold and ready to say, 'See, we're just common folk now, not suited for a school library.'
But before she could utter a word, Leopold turned to the security guard and said, "Who said we're not students? We're still enrolled as grad students."
The security guard looked them up and down in disbelief. No matter how he looked at it, they did not seem like students. While they did look young, their attire was far too mature.
Who else but working professionals would dress in suits?
And it wasn't just the man in the suit, but the woman too was in business attire.
Thalassa, feeling awkward under the security guard's scrutiny, was about to turn around and leave when Leopold grabbed her hand.
The warmth of his palm against Thalassa's skin caught her off guard. Before she could react, Leopold let go of her hand.
He pulled out two blue booklets from his pocket, opened them and handed them to the security guard, "Take a look. These are our student IDs. Do they look fake to you?"
The security guard scrutinized the IDs. Seeing they were indeed genuine, he allowed them to pass.
