251 Walk in the night- Part 2

After going back to the carriage and starting to walk away from it so that they could stroll down the streets of the town where lanterns now lit brightly outside the houses. It was one of the towns which Penny had not found the opportunity to explore. Not that she had the freedom to walk around but even before when she was a free girl, she had never traveled too far. 

Work had kept her busy. Having the need to earn money so that their house could run as her father had disappeared and her mother couldn't work as the Villagers never offered or allowed her to work. Due to this, she had to travel far from the village to another town to earn meager money. She clutched her hand tightly with her emotions that had started to spiral in her mind. 

With her father who was never in the frame of her life, the only person she had been attached to for years and years that went by was her mother. The only person she believed she would ever need.
