Chapter 7 

Dorothea listened quietly to the women gossiping around her, her mind drifting slightly. 

Beside her, Janette suddenly looked around in confusion. 

“Where’s Ellie?” 

“She’s asleep,” Dorothea answered softly. “It’s too cold outside, so I left her under the blankets in the dorm.” 

Even while talking, she kept glancing nervously toward the dorm building. 

Only after not hearing Eloise cry did she finally relax a little.
