Bab 173: Gold in the wavering water

After listening to Rosetta's story from yesterday and today, where her aunt appeared to be annoyed that some 'lowly-vampire' must have killed the mermaid she had invested her money in. Eve finally left from there and hopped on the local carriage to return home.

The sky had turned inky blue with traces of white near the horizon. 

Three more people were travelling in the carriage that Eve was in, and as time passed, she started to feel someone's gaze on her. Subtly she turned to look in the direction of the two men and one woman beside her, who were all busy looking out the window. She wondered if she had imagined it and went back to look outside the carriage window. 

When the carriage halted before Meadow, Eve noticed a few more carriages and people with coats standing and discussing something. One of the male passengers in the carriage said, 

"A lot of people in the town today."
