"Hi, Eugene!" She smiled and embraced the girl in a friendly hug.
"He-y. I told your friends I'd take you to them. They are waiting for you in the guest house." Something about the little girl was fishy. Grim had lived enough to sense the danger miles across and she only standing at a distance of some feet.

She felt she had pulled a vein in her neck by facing the window throughout the journey. At a point, she wished to fall asleep so that she might use grim's shoulder as her pillow but she did not.
