Chapter 220

It was just past 8 a.m., and Yvonne was crouched on a small path in the front yard, her tiny backpack snug on her back.

Ian had forgotten something and gone back to get it. She was waiting for him.

Desperate, Yvonne began using her finger to guide them, her soft, childish voice rising with urgency.

“Go this way! Right here–this is the way, little ones!”

But the ants didn’t understand her. They’d already started spreading out in both directions, searching for a new path.

Yvonne wanted to cry. She crouched there on the ground, heartbroken, feeling like a criminal.
