CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

Ellie sighed and came down listening for once, coming down to sit in front of Joel and Violet, Violet put her hands close to the fire as Joel brought out some gross whiskey. Ellie asked some as Violet scoffed taking the drink from his hands, as he sent her a glare, and so she spoke,
