The start of my courses was slow. On Friday afternoon I went to my father's office to catch a ride home. Miss Boman greeted me warmly. She hugged me, a full body hug that had to be...
Chapter 8 Five months later... The pitter patter of rain hitting the metal roof of the castle gave way to the plops of puddles on the bedroom terrace.
