After stepping out of the cavern, Everlyn turned back to face Hutton, Bob, Boma, and Julian, her expression calm but serious. "I'll bring you food and supplies every few days, but I can't stay here. As the mayor, my absence would raise suspicion."
Hutton nodded. "That's fine. This place is more than enough for us to lay low for now."
Bob crossed his arms. "Just be careful. If anyone gets suspicious of your movements, it could put you in danger too."
Everlyn gave a faint smile. "I appreciate the concern, but I can handle myself." She turned on her heel and stepped toward the exit. "Stay out of sight, and don't leave the cave unless absolutely necessary."
With that, she exited the cave.
