Chapter 154
“Okay. Thanks for…y’know, paying for my fortune.”
“You’re welcome.” He leaned down and whispered in the wolf’s ear.
“Well…um…It was nice meeting you, all of you,” I said. “Bye.”
“M’lord.” Dodona had followed me to the door of the caravan.
“Yes, ma’am?”
“One thing more. You’ll name him Benjamin.”
“I’ll name who?”
She smiled—geez, it was weird having her look at me and know she wasn’t seeing me—raised her hand in farewell, and left me standing there.
“?edán? Do you know what she’s talking about?”
“I don’t. We must go. Adam wishes to have you safely home.”
Had that much time already passed? I looked up at the sky and guessed so. “Okay.” I put Mina down, and the three of us walked to the citadel.

It was interesting visiting the citadel, but I was glad to be home. Mina had paid a visit to the curb, and now she waited at my heel for me to open the door.
Only I didn’t have to pat down the pockets of my borrowed clothes to realize I didn’t have the key. I sighed.
