The Carriage ride

They soon approached a place that looked like a market. It was what they wanted. A place with a great deal of people so they would easily ask questions and find their grounds.

They requested to be dropped there and thanked the coachman for the ride.

They didn’t bother talking to the other person in the carriage as he seemed to be bothered by his own problems alone and didn’t want to entertain extra distractions.

He exuded a coldness they couldn’t comprehend, but, why was he picking up passengers from the road. Was he rich before and then grew poor?

It was as though Tahira and Sophie had the same thoughts as they both gave him one last pitiful look before walking down from the carriage.

The coachman was also yet to understand why the master had told him to pick up the two ladies.

He didn’t usually concern himself with the villagers.
