Chapter 21

They set up the board for a game. Ian walked over to the table. "What is this for?" He ointed to a box on the table.

"It's my doll," she said. She quickly packed the doll box and put it on the shelf. "I left it last night, when I was taking it out to dust it off."

"Better get it out of the way," Ian said, watching her place the box beside the table on the shelf. Stella walked to the board and laid out the pieces.

"How about we divide the player pieces now?" She asked. "Then we will put the rest of the components in the middle, so everyone can reach for them."

"Why in the middle?" Dani asked. "You can also put them beside the board, the middle will be occupied soon." He set the components aside. "There, the centre will be free and I can hand out the players to each of you." He laid them out in front of them.
