Guardians of the Seal<br />
“This one makes you look like a peacock in display,” her mum teased.<br />
Imani made faces at her before going back in to change the dress. While she<br />
was gone, Tara turned to Lucan and asked suddenly, “What do you think of<br />
the Wicket Gate?”<br />
Lucan hesitated. He had been able to deduce that Imani didn't believe in<br />
the Wicket Gate and was unsure if she got that disbelief from her mother or<br />
otherwise. He would tread carefully. “It only appears to those who believe it<br />
is,” he responded, hand on chin.<br />
Tara leaned forward and looked him in the eye. “Do you believe, Lucan?”<br />
Lucan held her gaze and said in almost a whisper, “I believe.” Tara kept her<br />
eyes on him for a few more seconds, as if probing his sincerity, and then,<br />
satisfied, she sat back into the chair.<br />
Imani came out in a fitted silver dress, flowing like a goddess. “Mum, could<br />
you help me with the zipper, please,” she asked, turning her back to her mum.<br />
Tara gave Lucan a knowing look and said with meaning, “Help her.”
