"Oh, Dolly." Emily was almost in tears. She couldn't believe she was meeting Dolly here. "Why are you here?"
"I saw the news online about your trip to the South, so I wanted to come and meet you. Look, this is the lemon pie that Mrs. Bauer made for you." Dolly said as she took the bag-wrapped lemon pie out of her gray backpack and handed it to Emily. She looked embarrassed. "I don't know if this lemon pie is still edible. It took me nearly a day to get from my place to the capital. Maybe the lemon pie has gone bad."
Emily opened the bag and sniffed the lemon pie inside. The familiar scent reminded her of the kind Mrs. Bauer, and she asked Dolly, "Are Mrs. Bauer and the rest of the village all right?"
