Elma stepped out cautiously and suspiciously stared at Jake, her eyes red and swollen like a little rabbit’s.

“Are you really letting me go?” she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

Jake avoided her gaze, his tone gruff.

Jake’s expression shifted, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Did your mom tell you that?”
