Chapter 79

• ANNOYING CALLS
• "Ellie!" The voice of Grace startles me from my thoughts and makes me drag my face lazily to her.
• She is not in her apron, and her backpack is slinging on her shoulder. It is already night. Good to know! I haven't left this office since yesterday. Fortunately, I managed to get some forty winks in the wee hours of the dawn, but like an early bird that I have been, I was up as soon as my eyes closed. My tormented soul succumbed to insomnia. I couldn't sleep.
