239 Packing for departure

The next day, the sun stayed hidden behind the clouds, leaving certain gloominess in and around the towns. Having not slept well the previous night, Eve stayed in her bed for a long time before getting out of it. 

Walking near the table where she had placed the letter addressed to Vincent, she picked it up. This had to be sent today so the Moriarty family could start looking for a new governess. 

Wearing a dull green coat around her body, Eve stepped out of the house along with the letter in her dress pocket. She looked for the postman, Mr. Fox, and when she finally caught him, the man bowed at her, 

"Good morning, Mr. Fox. I was wondering if you will be delivering letters to Skellington today," there was a hint of anxiousness when Eve asked him.

"Not today, Ms. Barlow. I will be going to Thresk Hills to deliver the packages and letters. Was it something urgent?" Mr. Fox asked, and Eve nodded.
