Jerome Butler

It was Christmas. Everyone was having fun in the main hall of the great castle. Gautier went to the library, opened the window and the balcony in the dark because it was stuffy, picked up a book, and sat down in a chair, the pages illuminated by the screen of his phone. He heard the library door open, turned off his phone, slowly closed the book, and sank into the chair. Jerome didn't notice him; he closed the window and the balcony. Someone called him, and he started talking about Skariel. Gautier immediately realized it was Jerome. He rose from his chair.
What are you doing here?
Jerome looked at him.
I have the same question for you.
Gautier heard someone approaching, grabbed Jerome's hand, and pulled him deeper into the bookshelves. The space was narrow, so they pressed tightly together. Gautier listened to the two boys talking, and soon realized it was his brother Gédéon and his friend Lumière. They went out to the balcony.
