She had lived there for nearly seven years, and although it had only been a little over twenty days since she left, it felt like she hadn’t been there for half a lifetime.

Maggie paused at the butler’s address, but ultimately didn’t correct him. She nodded and

Maggie smiled faintly and shook her head. “No need, I’ve already eaten.”
