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.

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.

Winnie’s heart ached for her as she grabbed the latter’s hand in an attempt to lead her out from behind the door.
