Ruth was about to open her mouth after Rees denied hearing any wolf in the woods. She was sure that it was not her mind playing tricks with her. She heard it multiple times, it couldn't be her imagination. But she held her tongue back after realising that Rees was not interested in the topic.
She didn't want to stress it further as all that mattered, in the end, that she was safe with Rees. So not pestering him further she tried to change the topic, for walking in the haunting silence of the night gave her chills.
"Rees"
"Hmm?"
"Do you mind sharing your experience of working with the O'Dells?"
He gave her a sideways glance, his brows perked up in surprise.
"Why the sudden interest in the O'Dells?"
She cast her eyes down. "I am just curious like every other resident of the Vincardine."
"Fine. I believe it must be it." He smirked at her. "So, what do you want to know?"
"umm... anything that you want to share." She shrugged her shoulders.
