Cherished (Adam & Ella)
“Ella shifted in hers and crossed her legs. “You mentioned Mr. Allen was interested in the manuscript, so I loaded the document onto a flash drive. That way he can read it on his computer, or print it out. And it will be much lighter to carry on the plane.”

The front of the panel had the same textured design as the entire wall, and when closed, would never be noticed.MoreLess
