Capítulo 68: Waterfall

Leon stood on a spot admiring Ella's disappearing frame. His mind drifted momentarily to the first time Ella visited his country home garden. Her fascination was like that of Alice in Wonderland. Her love for nature was contagious. He was tempted to go after her but on a second thought, he changed his mind.

When Ella was completely out of sight, he turned his attention to the entrance of the bungalow.

All this while, he had been so lost in his peaceful thoughts that he hadn't noticed his Nana open the door or step out of the house.

Nana Esther had a mysterious way of approaching someone without them ever seeing her coming. It was as though she wasn't a human being but a spirit. On so many occasions, she had scared the living light out of her children; Rex and Maxwell, and also her grandchildren.
