A chaotic town (3)
"Why is there a line?" Eleanor asked herself when she reached the gates of the Collins estate. "This town works fast," she said, watching the people yelling and then when they saw the carriage coming, they turned their attention to her.
They were in for a letdown since she was no one important to get news from.
"How am I supposed to get out of here?" Eleanor wondered. She paid for a carriage to bring her here since her aunt was using the one carriage they had to their name. "Excuse me," she called to the driver. "Would it be possible for you to- Oh!" Eleanor looked outside at the gates opening already and the carriage going inside.
Eleanor sat back in her seat and waved at the people who appeared frustrated that she was getting to go inside. Eleanor's amusement stopped when the carriage stopped moving and her door opened. "What is- Why are you here?" She asked Reed who entered the carriage and sat like he was welcomed there.
