Diego led me through a narrow, winding passage illuminated only by flickering lamps set into the damp wall alcoves. His fingers remained tightly laced through mine, his palm radiating a steady heat.
"I've never seen this area before," I noted.
"That's the point." He flashed me a sideways grin. "I didn't feel it was time...at least until now."
"Diego, where are we going?" I scowled a bit.
"You'll see." He turned his face away and kept on his pace, though the grin lingered.
"Hmph!" A small pout appeared on my face.
We descended a final set of spiral stairs carved into the cliffside before stepping through an archway lined with overhanging, pale green moss.
"What the..." My jaw nearly hit the ground.
