Calveen has asked that I tell you some of our history. We started as a small group of people fleeing the destruction of the first Sin Loos, the one wi...h the arch on a river. I have not heard what caused the destruction but it was terrible. Most people perished in the fires and floods. A small group went north and east for many days to find a place of safety where they would build a new city. They built the second Sin Loos. Most of our laws and customs come from that time as we developed writing. ‘Stand aside boys.’ ‘Now wait just a minute, I saw her first!’ ‘Yeah, well I’m going to get to her first!’ His buddies were not to be outdone, and as a group, they began to elbow their way through the crowd to get a closer look at the girl. Liam McKenzie had been bent over near his trunks, examining a crack in the wood that needed sealing when he heard their exchanged comments. Curious as to what had drawn their attention, he stood and watched them making their way through the horde. When he. And that was only concerning Suki!Neither girl was showing yet, of course, so they had a little time to make plans. The only problem was they couldn’t think of anything to build a plan around.Suki offered to just cut her stay short and go home. She knew her father would be unhappy, but sensed her mother would support her.Bob wasn’t willing to “chicken out” in that manner. He’d allowed it to happen. He’d deal with the consequences.What he worried about was if he got sent to prison. What would. Mostly this was because she really wasn’t a bad kid but also because I was still looking forward to seeing the changes the mysterious Miriam had wrought in her. But in this, I was doomed to disappointment. It was the same old Amy. Same oversized clothes, same limp hair, and same eyebrow. I couldn’t see her ears, but I imagined they were still pointy. I felt let down. Hey, I didn’t think it would work, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t hoping there’d be an improvement. And it’s not like it could.
