1:30 A.M.
Dragging her exhausted body back to the dormitory, Jessie Grain took a shower and only then did she realize that Flossie Wright hadn't come back at all.
Where had she gone?
Lacking any energy, Jessie Grain slumped into a chair, pulling together a bit of strength to wonder suspiciously.
After the dismissal, she had returned with Nancy Phillips, both of them so tired they didn't have any energy left, with no mind to pay attention to Flossie Wright's absence.
As she was pondering—
The dormitory door was pushed open.
Flossie Wright walked in from outside, entering into the light of the dorm.
"Where did you go—"
Turning her head, Jessie Grain hadn't finished her sentence when she spotted what Flossie Wright was holding in her hand.
"Here."
Stopping beside her chair, Flossie Wright raised her hand and tossed a small bag over.
Jessie Grain, raising her sore arm, hurriedly caught it.
Upon closer inspection, she saw it contained two steamed buns and two buns.
