However, nobody answered her calls. She couldn’t find Jacinta anywhere, even after scouring the study and the bathroom.
Has Granny left? But how is that possible?
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 would have known if Jacinta had gone out or switched rooms through the sound of opening and closing doors.
Since there were no sounds, Granny must still be in the house somewhere.
Winnie gave it some thought before she strode back toward Jacinta’s room.
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.
