"Are you Miss Howell?" I asked.
Surprise crossed her face. "Yes. Are you here for my brother?" Once she said that, I knew for certain that she was Brandon's sister. To be frank, they didn't look anything. alike, but both of them were stunning. Brandon's charm belonged to that of a masculine warrior, while his sister shared the soft ethereal features of a fairy.

She sat down to make the tea, looking out the yard. "He built the yard for me. He said that it would be good for my condition." I was was shocked. The yard definitely took considerable energy and care to make.

"The water in this tea is from the river. I froze it after collecting it. The tea tastes better when it's made from the river's water." She handeda glass jar.
