“Mums the word,” Calypso whispered.
Lethe stepped backward, sinking into the shadows, and pulled Calypso with her. Rivers of people surged around them. Lethe scanned their faces, searching for a clue. No one noticed two women hiding in plain view.
“Can you give me a hint?”
Calypso’s face paled as she extricated her hand from Lethe’s tenacious grasp, and she shook her head. “It’s a secret.”
Tears glistened in Lethe’s eyes as desperation suffocated her.
“You must tell me. For my assignment.”
“It’s not my story. You should ask the Administrator.”
Lethe’s shoulders slumped. Her only option was to wait.

Does the photo give a clue like your opening line? Love the mystery of these 2 women hiding in plain sight.

LOL Gina. The overworked Admin for this prompt forgot the photo before she headed out of town on vacation. So a few of us got creative. It was fun all the same. ❤
