Nothing out of the ordinary happened to her overnight; Esme woke up like usual but without her regular nightmares and her companion, Einar, the cat, gone. She was fed a cooked breakfast meant for two large men and welcomed to stay for the rest of the day. Esme politely declined and was very much relieved when Grannie accepted this and let her leave the café. A lot had been said over food, all of which was only between Esme and Grannie; Kasia had not returned.
