"WHAT'S GOT YOU so gloomy?" Spade asked, drawing Alice's attention away from the windows. 

The carriage beneath them swayed back and forth, rocking a little harder whenever the wheels went over a stone on the road that was a little bigger than the average pebble.

"I asked if there's something on your mind," he calmly repeated.

"Oh." Alice sat up a little straighter, combing her hair behind her ear. "It was just… a memory, I think."

"You think?"

Alice nodded once.
