Jaylene frowned, thinking of the chatty middle-aged man. “He’s okay. He talks too much, always asking questions, which is annoying, but he drives well and does what he’s told, like a dog, very obedient.”

Darcie paused, pursed her lips, then said, “Jaylene, do you remember what I told you at your coming-of-age ceremony?”

Darcie looked up at her. “Have you done that?”
