Uncertain Steps
After the embarrassment of Eidyia showing up while she was in the middle of a fight with her dad, Millie maintained almost a week of radio silence. She threw herself into looking at apartments, sorting school things, and work, leaving herself little time to even think about the crawling dread that now accompanied the seething resentment she felt about the whole situation.
But soon enough she and her sisters had managed to find an apartment in Desert Pines. They moved in right away, buying only the bare necessities that they hadn’t been able to salvage, leaving the apartment sparse and lacking the warm, lived-in feeling their home in Old Town had possessed. Teres was quite pleased to be let out of the rain boot, though understandably still shaken by his experience.Â
As things started to settle, and Millie gained some distance from her father, guilt crept in . So on her next night off, she sat on the edge of her bed, picked up her new phone, and gathered her courage to call the library.Â
