Ashley looked closely, but Bradley had got in the car, and she could not longer make out his features clearly.

With the sunset nearing the horizon, Ashley replied, “It’s evening, yes, time for dinner.”.

Valentin said. “Remember to eat well.”

Ashley was speechless. “I’m not a child. I know that.”
