“Caleb!” Galen shouted as he ran into the office without bothering to knock.
Caleb looked up from the papers he was reading.
“Whoa… Galen, slow down! What’s wrong?” he said.
Galen put his hand on his knees and took a breath, having run up two flights of stairs as soon as he had heard the news from the gate.
“Ashleigh…” Galen huffed, “she….”
“She what?” Caleb asked with concern.
“She’s here!” Galen shouted.
“What?” Caleb replied with eyes wide, “what are you talking about?”
“Word from the gate, Ashleigh, daughter of Winter, has entered the border,” he said.
“She didn’t tell me she was coming….” Caleb said, looking at his phone.
“Caleb,” Galen said, pulling his attention back from the phone. “Fiona is already on her way to greet her.”
“What!?” Caleb shouted.
