CAS SANDRA
“Oh, Cas sandra, that’s amazing!” Becky eximed as she entered the clinic.
My assistant’s alreadyrge eyes grew even wider as she shut the door and peered around the
building. She had just returned from her holiday and it was officially our moving day.
“Isn’t it?” I remarked as I carefully set down a pile of boxes. Once they were on the ground, I wiped the
dust off of my hands and walked over to her. “It’s great to see you, Becky. How were your days off?”
“They were great,” Becky said with a small smile. “I always feel so much pressure working in the
pce, but I was able to catch up on some rest and I’m feeling much better.”
Sure enough, the color had returned to her cheeks and her dark eyes were no longer underscored with
dark circles. Her dark red hair was nice and neat, and I noticed she was wearing a light touch of
makeup. Becky looked great, and I was d to see that she was in such good spirits.
“I understandpletely,” I said, and then I lowered my voice slightly. “Between you and me… I feel
relieved to be away from the pce. Its much quieter
here.”
“Definitely,” Becky agreed. “Now, will you show me around?”
I grinned. “Of course. Right this way.”
I happily gave my assistant a small tour of our new clinic. Ihough our equipment was still in the process
of being moved over, we had made great progress in setting things up. There was no shortage of cots
and examination tables, and they were all arranged behind thick fabric curtains ti t could be drawn for
necessary privacy. Along the warm cream-colored walls were shelves and

ces for storage, and there were multiple stations that would allow Becky and I to clean up and
operate efficiently.
It was impressive that this had alle together so quickly, and that we’d managed to get a ce set
up that was not only professional butforting. All of the colors here were warm and inviting, whereas
in Merliscire, everything was harsh and sterile. I wanted to make sure that my patients would feel at
ease here, and I had no doubt in my mind that it was an easily reachable goal.
As we walked around, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of relief. Adalyn and Margaret had been rather
silent these days and hadn’t attempted anything further.
I I that I was finally moving from the pce, I felt like I could breathe without
No
worry.
When Becky and I returned to the reception area, Erika walked through the door, holding a box.
“Where should I ce this, Cas sandra?” she asked.
“That can go to the second floor,” I replied. Erika nodded and then smiled warmly at Becky before
heading up the stairs. The maid was followed by a young girl, the new maid Asher had sent named
Hannah. The girl was incredibly petite, with pretty dark skin and a mass of gorgeous ck curls. Her
dark eyes peeked at us shyly, but she managed to give us a small smile as she passed by. She was a
quiet girl, but she seemed very kind. I looked forward to getting to know her further.
Just as the maids disappeared up the stairs, there was a knock on the door, and then a familiar voice.
“I hope I’m not disturbing you.”
In walked Kane Collins, who greeted us with a brilliant smile. Asher’s handsome tepbrother was
followed by several se rvants holding borately wrapped gift
oxes.
“I’m here on behalf of my very busy brother,” Kane continued. “Who is unfortunately tied up at the
moment? I do hope I’m not interruping.”

“Not at all,” I said warmly. “It’s great to see you. Come with me, we can speak in the meeting room.”
“Wonderful,” he said.
I escorted him to the meeting room just down the hall, and invited him to take a seat on one of the
plush white couches. As he gotfortable, I prepared some tea for us. Erika and Hannah were far too
busy tidying up, so I had no problem with making it myself.
Once it was ready, I set a cup down on the coffee table for Kane and then sat down on the chair
opposite the couch.
“Thank you for this,” Kane remarked after he took a sip of tea. “This is exactly what I needed. It’s chilly
out there.”
“It sure is,” I agreed. “And it’s no problem at all. Besides, it’s the least I could do after all that you’ve
done for us. I haven’t had the chance to thank you for helping Erika and mest week-.”
“It’s no trouble at all,” he insisted. “It was the right thing to do. I’m sorry for my mother’s actions. I hope
Erika is alright.”
“She’s fine,” I replied. “She recovered very quickly and her wounds are all but
gone.”
“Good,” Kane said, and then he nced around the room. “Ashe wished toe here in person but he
was busy today. He decided to send Marco to the primary school and have him take sses with the
other kids. If you would like to do the same for Finnick, I would be d to help you with the enrollment.
The school will ept children who are at least five years old.”
At first, I wanted to turn down the idea, but then I remembered Finnick had said e was lonely here in
Anemond and wished to make more funds. He would be Lurning six soon, and he had no friends aside
from Dominic.
Of course, children in Anemond were mostly from upper fan lies. I would be worried that Finnick might
feel out of ce with them.

“I’ll think about it,” I said. “Thank you for offering.”
Kane nodded. “Of course.”
We fell into silence as we sipped at our tea and then Kane cleared his throat.
“Asher is also busy preparing for the uing celebration to wee Ss next week,” he said
casually. “You should be receiving an invitation soon, as all members with a title will be invited. As one
of the royal healers, that includes you.”
It took all of my effort to keep from widening my eyes.
Ss Moses… the son of Oliver Moses.
“Ss has just finished inspecting all of the warriors stationed out at the borders,” Kane continued
before I could say a word. “He’s also quelled several riots. Pack members will be excited to see their
hero back in Anemond.”
A lump formed in my throat. That respect and duty should have belonged to my brother Ector.
Kane stared at me for a moment and as his violet eyes flicked over me, I wondered if my expression
was betraying my thoughts. I didn’t want to slip up, but the anger I felt toward the Moses family knew
no bounds. I hated them all so much, and knowing that a celebration was being made in Ss’ honor
when it should have been for my brother… it only made things worse.
Still, I smiled anyway.
“That sounds wonderful,” I said simply. “I look forward to seeing such a hero.”
It took all of my effort to stay calm, and for a moment, I thought Kane would see ght through it, but he
just smiled back.
“It will be a great evening,” he remarked, and then he set his teacup down on the table and stood.
“Now, I hate to leave so soon, but I have some other business to attend to.”
