The prank was a success, and both Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick couldn't help but laugh.
"Give it back. These aren't maggots. They're highly nutritious tree worms, also called oakworms. They'll definitely be delicious deep-fried."
Quincy looked at Evelyn with a complicated expression. "Your tastes are really something else."
Evelyn rolled her eyes. "Come on, let's head home. We've been on the move all day, and we're dead tired."
"Mr. Graham has some food heated up. You can eat as soon as we're back. No one's gone to bed yet; everyone's been waiting for you to return."
Quincy ran ahead to let the others know.
Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick entered the log cabin. The others were all sitting in the living room. The lights were off, with only a single kerosene lamp lit. Everyone was thrilled to see Evelyn and Ronan return. Taylor Vance's eyes were a little red. He patted Ronan's shoulder and whispered, "All that matters is that you're back safe."
