"Do you have a place to stay tonight? you know you won't make it into town by nightfall?" Ruth asked, concerned and gave Eve a sideways glance. The girl was young, just about her own height of 5 foot 4 and maybe 120 pounds. There were dark rings under her eyes and she looked like she hadn't had a good shower in a few days. There was a mess of blond curls hiding under the hoodie and her Jeans had also seen better days. The sneakers were well worn and Ruth's guess was that she had been walking for some time now and all of her 'Mom alarm bells' were going off. "The house is big and it is safe and no one would ever assume to look for anyone there" she threw in for good measure, guessing the girl was running from someone or someplace bad. Eve was torn, should she accept or just keep moving, but she was tired, hungry, dirty and the thought of seeing horses was overwhelming.
