Renee Jennings had Nathan Lynch rest by the roadside for a bit. Along the way, a friendly auntie offered to give them a ride.
Renee Jennings glanced at the leftover vegetable leaves and dirt in the back of the woman's tricycle and declined, "We're almost there. Thank you, Auntie, but you should get going."
She smiled politely, and the auntie said her goodbyes and left.
After resting for a moment, the color returned to Nathan Lynch's cheeks. Renee Jennings took him by the hand and they continued on their way.
They finally reached the last house, but its exterior was not as stunning as Renee Jennings had imagined. It was utterly unremarkable.
Renee Jennings frowned. 'This is the best house the show arranged for Naomi Kenway?'
'Maybe there's more to it on the inside?'
She consoled herself.
When Renee Jennings pulled Nathan Lynch to the front door, she remembered she had to use the magic words. She called them out, her voice filled with delight.
