“Just stay right here,I’ll be back,”says Miriam.Ezekiel has left the room,leaving Anna and I alone.We haven’t spoken to each other all day.I’m too nervous to do anything except look around and visually investigate the kitchen.I can’t believe it isn’t in a separate building,like at my house.It seems barbaric in some way.
Miriam is back.“I’ve asked my son Ethan to fetch some water for you girls.We’ll get you cleaned up in no time.”
