Bab 148: Not a fish but a cat

Rosetta leaned forward, noticing Eve standing in front of the carriage door with her back facing her. She asked, "What happened, Eve?" 

Eve stared at the note, which had no name and wondered who it could be from. It wasn't like she knew many people in Hollow Valley. The tower bell wasn't far from where she stood; people were still walking up and down the streets. Giving it some thought, she turned to Rosetta and said, 

"I need to go meet someone. Will that be alright?" 

"Now?" Rosetta raised her eyebrows, looking slightly impatient as she wanted to bring her aunt here. The quicker she would leave Hollow Valley, the faster she would return with her aunt and be able to drink from the mermaid. "How long will it take?" 

"I am not sure," Eve noticed Rosetta's lips set themselves in a thin line and said, "Why don't you go ahead, and I will use the local carriage to get back home?"
