Chapter 63

"During dinner, Einar and Beauden noticed how quiet Wisdom was. Everyone else was listening to Idris talking about how dangerous Wisdom is. Wisdom didn't eat much, excused herself, and glanced at Einar. Beauden stood up to leave with her. But she told him to finish his dinner and that she was fine, she was trying to figure something out. Beauden is reluctant and begins to follow her, he stops when Chickpea wakes up and steers around in her playpen. He looks at Wissy. “Damn it,” then picked his daughter up.

Everyone at the table besides Kiri is looking at him. They didn’t notice Einar leaving the room and walking in Wisdom's direction.

Wisdom sits on the sofa in her office staring at the door when Einar enters. He sits beside her and takes her hand. “I’m proud of you. Now you know everything that I know. Yes, it was four boxes. But your grandfather somehow combined them into one. “

She nods, “Yodoshi is close by. I saw him in a dream. Why do I feel as if I’ve met him before?”
