The drive to the Aldrith family cabin was quiet enough that it allowed Theon the time to be deeply buried in his thoughts. Ever since he had left Azaria's house, his mind had been filled with thoughts of his sister and everything that had happened the previous evening. He had returned to the family home first, hoping Valeria might have come back after storming out, but every room he checked was empty and her scent wasn't as strong.
Lenora told him she had not returned, and although Dorian tried to hide it, Theon could see the worry on his father's face. No one knew where she had gone, yet Theon found himself thinking of one place he knew she could be hiding in. Whenever any of them needed to get away from the noise of everyday life, the family cabin had always been there.
