Chapter 26

"No," Celestia answered truthfully. Dexter stared at her, catching that serious look in her eyes, and couldn't help the wave of disappointment that washed over him. No. So, he really did mistake her for someone else. "Sorry, I think I've got the wrong person." "Mister..." Celestia's voice caught as she looked at Dexter. Even though he kept up a smile, she could see the sadness behind his eyes. She hesitated for a moment, trying to say something, but before she could speak, Dexter quickly masked his expression and went back to the earlier topic. "What if I say it was just a case of mistaken identity? Would you buy it?" Mistaken identity? Would someone be that kind to a complete stranger? "Yeah... I believe you," Celestia nodded. The look in his eyes just now held too much sadness to fake. Dexter glanced at her pale face, seeming unsure for a second. "Jareth... I actually noticed you two arguing first. Is that why you passed out?" He saw her chasing after someone and followed on impulse.
