Chapter 55

Early the next morning, Stanley called and urged Joseph to hurry, saying they had arrived.

Elowyn and Zaid also got up early, but they didn’t head to the company right away because they were going to visit Quinlyn’s house later.

“Let me grab an umbrella for my daughter, Elowyn said, heading inside the house. Moments later, she came back with an adorable children’s umbrella for Quinlyn.
