Tony’s place was closest, and it was in that direction Asha had led them. Her grip of Tobias’s hand finally slipped free when it came into view, senses already reaching out to try and ascertain who might be home. Elias’s general demeanor aside, the welcome would be warm enough if Tobias chose to stick around. Despite her warning she wasn’t about to ditch him rudely at the door. She might have drifted her entire life, but her uncle had bought her up with manners.
“You work at the docks?” That captured her attention somewhat, the words tinged with a little surprise, like a gentle nudge of serendipity.
