It had been five days since Neriah had met with Lyle and a decision she believed was not supposed to be a hard one seemed too disturbing to make. Like he had said he would, he had sent her another letter.
He seemed to know the perfect time to send it to her. In the new letter, he had written the place where they could meet again. Telling her that he would be waiting, and whenever she was ready she would find him there.
Her studying with Eliza was going smoothly too. The lady still seemed to have some resentment toward Neriah, but was wise enough to not show it. And as long as she was in no way disrespectful, Neriah did not care for her resentful heart.
