Yan Lin turned around as the door to their restaurant opened to greet the new guest. She had to admit that seeing one of Hay Linâs friends caught her off guard. Had the girls already picked up on the change that was happening around them? She could not tell, but if the oracle could be trusted - and she was sure of that much - it was about to happen any time now. It felt good to know the end of her assignment, that heavy duty, approaching. Yet she could feel herself becoming afraid of the imminent goodbye. A foolish notion after so many years... The old woman sighed before approaching the younger girl with a smile. âIrma? I wish you a good day, but I must ask what brings you here? Hay Linâs not home. I thought she was with you girls.â
