Bab 219: 219

Henry looked around uncomfortably as the officer continued his praises. The man could certainly talk a mile a minute. He finally tapped his watch and explained.  "We should be heading out. I think we need to be getting to our accomodation before it gets too dark to see."

Ellie nodded in agreement.  "Yes, we should be on our way." She turned to grab her bag and realized that the whole time Henry had been avoiding touching her.  He had taken her bag with him as he had traveled ahead. Her sweater which was strong on the handle of the suitcase was wrapped around his arm.  Ellie wondered if things were going to get awkward on their way to Stanford Hall.
