A few days later...
Ezra and Lucy returned to the Ashenlocke Estate.
They did not waste time settling into the Guest House assigned to them for the holiday.
The moment they arrived, their luggage was brought inside, and they returned to the rooms they had occupied since coming back from the Royal Academy for the break.
For Lucy, it meant unpacking their belongings and getting everything in order again.
For Ezra, however, the holiday was practically over before it had even begun.
Now that he was back, work began almost immediately.
Inside his room…
Ezra arranged the clothes and other items he had bought during his journey to Thornwick.
He folded what needed folding, placed his belongings where they belonged, and checked the things he would need for the day.
He had no intention of spending much time in the Guest House.
His next destination was the Ashcraft Research and Development Facility.
