Cherry, sitting beside me, had overheard my conversation with Soren. She leaned in and whispered, “Is Mr. Kenway coming to get you?” I shot her a look without responding, but Cherry giggled like a child, her neck scrunched in amusement. “Alright… Mr. Young and I will head back after this,” she said.
