Unwanted Reunion I

Daphne ignored that outstretched hand, choosing to step out on her own. Eugene merely let out a chuckle and withdrew his hand, seemingly unoffended by her rudeness.

He would find his way to her, eventually. Atticus had never failed to before.

"Your husband has been flipped to the other part of the maze." 

"How do you know that?" Daphne paused, eyeing Eugene's back suspiciously. She didn't trust his words.
