Josie stood still, momentarily stunned. After a while, she nodded and rose to her feet, calling for Moses to come in. “He’s drunk,” she said, “Help him inside to rest.”

Moses hurriedly entered, only to be met with Dexter’s gaze. For a moment, he was torn between advancing and retreating. Meanwhile, Josie had already returned to her room, or more accurately, Dexter’s room, where she had been temporarily residing for the past few days.
