If he were the demon Kat had accused him of being, he wasn’t going to welcome Mercedes into his home with open arms. Off to the side, a street urchin standing near the apple cart drew her attention. The young lad’s gaze darted around the street, suspiciously. Dirt streaked his face and tattered clothes, and his hair appeared as if he hadn’t combed it—or even washed it—for weeks. When the owner of the cart turned his back on the boy, the lad’s hand snaked out, grabbing an apple. That little thief! She stood as he ran past. Reaching, she tried to grab the imp, but only succeeded in stumbling forward. The owner of the cart swung around and faced her, his eyes widened the longer he stared.

Scott stood still on a road. There was no one there. Just him and the forest on either side of the road. His clothes were shabby, his face messy, his black hair tangled. He was wearing an oversized blue t-shirt that was starting to fade and light brown sleep pants. He looked like he hadn't slept or changed his clothes in days.

Horse and rider canter into the yard, assorted pairs of eyes watching their arrival. It's a fine sunny day and everyone has found work to do outside.
