As he walked towards the car, he couldn't help but feel a sense of freedom and adventure.The driver, a tall man with a smiling face, got out of the car and opened the back door for Sebastian. "Good morning, young sir," he said with a smile."Good morning," Sebastian replied, grinning from ear to ear as he got into the car.The driver closed the door and made his way to the front seat.

Kate's smile faded a bit. "I'm sorry, Alexander. There isn't any other path. That road is the only way to get in and out of Averill Park."Alexander sighed, feeling disappointed. He had been hoping for a solution, but it seemed like there was none. However, Kate's warm smile and welcoming demeanor helped to lift his spirits."Dinner's ready, so come inside and join us," Kate said, gesturing towards the delicious smells wafting from the kitchen.Alexander smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Kate. That sounds wonderful."Alexander smiled gratefully as he stepped into the cozy living room. "Thank you, Kate.
