Forty-four:
Ellery Corbin
The first thing Ellery noticed about the house was that it was unusually quiet. Landry had gone to meet with his father and brothers. And then she’d been left alone. She was so used to always having something to do. Whether it was a shift at the bar, or chores that had to be finished at the ranch. Free time was a luxury that she didn’t often get. She had already unpacked, and she had thought about going to find Landry but she didn’t know how long the meeting lasted.
Her next thought had been to go and explore the house. Landry had implied that the house was enchanted, and she was curious to see what that meant. But it was also late at night, and she didn’t want to wake anyone. Yet her mind wouldn’t stop racing. She couldn’t stop thinking about everything.
