144 Peeking through

Six days had passed since Eve had returned home after visiting the council in Darthmore. As days passed, it felt as if what happened in the dungeon was only a bad memory that would one day turn distant. 

Thankfully, no one in Meadow had heard about her being dragged to the dungeon, and peace filled the minds of her as well as the people she lived with. The long holidays also gave her time to think about the discovery she had made during the hearing session with the council members. 

"Eve." 

Breaking away from her thoughts, she turned to Aunt Aubrey, who came to her room to check upon her. "You didn't leave your room much today and I thought to come see you myself," said the older woman. 

"Sorry, I just got lost in my thoughts. I cannot believe one week is almost up and I will be back to work tomorrow," said Eve, while Aunt Aubrey sat beside her near the window.
