“v’s not over till it’s over. And when it’s over, it just begins again.” Kate McGahan

Given how late it was, Griffin didn’t stick around long to talk to those who had gathered to meet him. He made just

enough small talk to satisfy the castle staff and the guards, most of them just happy he’d made it back safely. I tried to

sitting in a heavily guarded castle. What could you possibly have to worry about?”
