Botros got lost into the book significantly quickly considering it was a story book. Sure he did read to his grandchildren often and he found those kid stories charming but not enough to the point where he'd read one for himself. This book was interesting, though, first because of how Alexa seemed ready to fight for it, and then with those not-codes turning out to be a weird font?? catching his eyes.

Now, it was something about the story and the way the words were put together. He couldn't take his eyes off it, he kept reading and turning page after page, he must've lost track of time because by the time he was at the end of the story and there was an illustration of an under-the-sea castle of sorts, Botros felt tired-- no, not tired, but sleepy and he just wanted to.. rest... his... eyes a little... and ...

ZZZZ.
