"Did you know," Ysabel whispered, squinting at the bright sky. She could hear the chaotic shouts of vendors selling their goods. The scent of fresh meat and fish wafted through her nostrils. "I forgot something today."
Reis pursed her lips.
She had realized that she too had almost forgotten what day it was.
Briefly checking the small pouch she was hiding in the pockets of her skirt, Reis listened attentively to what Ysabel had to say.
