Chapter 9

• Sweating and panting, Peri entered their house as quietly as she could. She didn’t want to alarm either her father or grandmother. She did her evening routine, washing up, changing into fresh house clothes and going to bed beside her grandma. She was careful to not wake her up.
• Even though she closed her eyes, she couldn’t seem to fall asleep. Guilt overwhelmed her. She hadn’t even thanked her hero. She didn’t even know who it was.
• Peri bit her lower lip and closed her eyes tightly for some moments.
