ROSE I wake up the next day, and the first thing I do is take a shower. Then I dress in something that will be comfortable to walk in all day. So I chose sweatpants, a hoodie with a tank top underneath, and my comfortable sneakers. I had used last night to make a plan to go by the best route throu
ROSE I was now sitting on the back of the truck belonging to the wolf and his daughter, who had offered to give me a ride to Cremona. While I waited, I looked at the market and tried to find out where that pulling feeling came from. But I never found it, so when it was time, I decided to go, try no
