Capítulo 66: Incessant Stares

Malissa jumped into Bel's arms, and Bel wrapped her arms around her as she smiled. "Malissa," she called.

Malissa pulled away, grabbing Bel's shoulders as she stared at her face. "How are you? How was it? What happened?" The young woman badgered her with questions.

"Malissa!" Bel called sternly, trying to snap her out of it. "I will tell you all about it once we settle in." Malissa nodded and fell into step with her.
