Winnie’s room door had been left wide open while she was conversing with Josiah, and she had been alert to any movements outside the whole time.

She shut the door and found Jacinta behind it.

Jacinta had always brought her to hide behind a door whenever there was danger back when she was young.

Back then, the village wasn’t a safe place to be as robberies frequently occurred, especially during winter.

Jacinta would carry a pole in one hand, shield Winnie behind her with the other, and hide behind a door whenever she thought a robbery was going to occur.

Indeed, her grandmother was hiding behind the door, just like she used to.
