Before they even realized it, time had crept towards noon. Finn Lewis hung out with Zoe on an apricot tree while Fay Wells appeared. Seeing the pair on the tree, she chastised them with a smile, "You're already this old, but you're still acting like a child! Why did you take Zoe with you? What if she falls? Come down now, Zoe. It's dangerous up there. Let Auntie carry you."
Finn handed Zoe over to his mom and then swiftly jumped down from the tree. "Let's go, lunch time now! By the way, was Ann a village woman too?"
"Did she mention it to you?" Finn asked as he shook his head.
"No, I noticed it myself. She's been helping out with the cooking, and she's extremely adept at everything she does, even with the household stove. She definitely grew up in a village," Fay said, shaking her head.
