Chapter 49 Orphans

• The older woman greets me at the door with a pair of wide, chocolate eyes peeking out from around her legs as she stares at me like a deer in the headlights. She gasps and looks from me to the two royal guards who flank my sides. The little girl behind her stares at Baxter with a twinkle in her eyes.
• I lean down and smile warmly at her. "Hello, my name's Annie and this is my little Baxter, what's your name?"
