Chapter 112

Isla's fast movement hadn't gone unnoticed and he suddenly found himself the object of everyone's interest except for Theophilus, who was still sound asleep.

Greta finally broke the silence.

  "Kelly!" she exclaimed, walking over to embrace him tightly.

  "Oh, it's so good to see you again."

He found that the feeling was entirely mutual, and told her so. 

He kissed her cheek before she pulled away, grinning up at him.

"I brought you something," she said suddenly, digging into one of the pockets on her apron. 

He furrowed his brow, wondering what she could have possibly wanted to bring him, when her hand shot back out triumphantly.

In her fingers she grasped a small piece of fabric. 

A ribbon, to be exact. 

It was gold, obviously to match his eyes, and he stared at her in shock.
