By the time Azraiel and Charlotte come out of the cottage, it’s already evening. They walk down towards Azraiel’s house, him carrying a bag with all her clothes and she carrying a small bag pack with her books and journals. These are the only things she used and needed anyway.
As soon as they reach his house, they don’t have to knock on the door because Ayleen is already out there waiting for them. Her face splits into a wide smile as soon as she sees them. Charlotte barely has the time to smile back before she is engulfed in a hug.
“Oh my god…oh my god…He told you…!” Ayleen shrieks loudly in her ear, making Charlotte wince and laugh at the same time. She hugs her back and squeezes her eyes shut.
A sister…
“He did…” She says as she breaks the hug and holds Ayleen’s hands.
The young woman just beams at her and starts dragging her inside the house. Charlotte tilts her head to see Azraiel look at her with a small smile.
