Outside Kingsford.

At the edge of town, in a small house near the village, chaos reigned indoors.

A teenage boy paced anxiously outside the guest room, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.

After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened. The lady of the house stepped out, nodded at the boy, and spoke in a brisk, practical tone.

"I've cleaned her up with warm water, gave her some ginger tea, and helped her change. She's asleep now."

Archie flushed, stumbling over his words. "No, no, she's not my girlfriend, she's my... cousin."
