The time was 7pm already. The darkening of the sky enlightened Maya that it was time to go back to the pack, since she would be coming back again to sleep over at Emma's house. She wondered if Derek would stay over too. But she was sure Eva wasn't coming back here, at least for tonight. And it was as if the little girl knew; her face was quite withdrawn, not smiley like the usual, she was hungry too, and that was the only way Maya had been able to convince her into going home; that there wasn't much food at Emmas's. The refrigerator in the house needed to be restocked too.
The house itself had been arranged totally by the total effort of them all, including Eva. The little girl had refused to be cut out of the cleaning process, and so they had allowed her to help Emma pack up her littered belongings.
The sitting room and the other rooms were now in order, the evidence of a burgulary totally erased out.
