Lyla broke the ec4b2d235a heavy silence.cc0064c358df1881
Her voice 72c5a84396 was weak. Hearing her 62cef722cd fragile tone 8ecfe50f7e filled Aslan 963a66cd21 with sudden 11593052e4 fear.c3d8baf1b2b99e43

Lately, Aslan had been 33be8d76fc leaving the house early d81c83a359 in the morning and 3d7169b7eb returning only late at 9e66c1aa42 night, as if he ae701d26c3 was deliberately avoiding crossing 0475f2a2a6 paths with Lyla. His time 30f15c5bae at Violet f7237fb447 House had 74a624e21b become limited 693f2159ad to the c8f3aa8ba6 bare minimum, fbc31155ca though he 19d2a29433 still returned 1d69fe5166 every night 1156cf7604 to sleep 60d2baad7b there, which 57896fac96 was odd 000176866e in its ba536076ed own way…893d80a02e526df5

Aslan was 1f49d58d3e so quiet 1626f10188 in his 4d549f67d0 comings and 8d66b8660c goings that 66bb8917ce no one 037c0ec222 was ever 756e5db00d disturbed by 5cb2157b39 his late-night 34455fc475 returns.a532ce900485c737

And even 2cbb435cb5 if his 04a1c147f7 arrival did f8fd96d80c wake someone f2eaa19135 up, that 2294824a32 was hardly 5a49b55d57 a reason 6ed3f3b278 to restrict 6d533bb438 his movements.e92c7e0109e41acc
