Eve was as surprised as Noah to see him in Thresk Hills at this hour. In the haste of wanting to get away from Meadow and Vincent, she had forgotten to send a word to the Duke of Woodlock that she was moving to Berkshire.
Noah walked towards Eve, coming to stand in front of her and asked with deep concern, "Is everything okay? What happened to your forehead?"
Embarrassed and ashamed to talk about what had happened back in Meadow, she offered him a smile. She shook her head and said, "I was walking without light at night and hit my head against the wall. She touched her wound even though it stung to let him know she was fine and there was nothing to worry about.
A little confused, Noah asked her, "And the trunk?"
"Ah, I decided to go to Berkshire where Aunt Aubrey has gone to visit a friend of hers. I became worried about her because she had complained about her back," Eve replied, looking at Noah, and he nodded.
