Chapter 103

Stepping out of the hotel, Effie couldn't help but release a sigh of relief.

Lyman glanced over at her, his voice gentle. "How are you holding up? Getting used to all this?"

Effie managed a small smile. "I'm fine, really."

Effie shook her head. "It's alright. It's good to get out and experience new things every now and then."

He nodded. "Alright. Let's go."
