"What did you say?!"
"Nothing!"
The little boy immediately shook his head and said to Georgia Thorne with a grin, "Hello, Ms. Thorne. My name is Hannah Gardner. My mom wants me to learn to paint, so my name comes from the word 'painting'!"
"Hello!" Georgia Thorne quite liked children, and Hannah Gardner was especially cute.
The whole reason Georgia Thorne had fled with Chloe Gardner to this old town was to hide from Elliot Sheridan.
She'd turned off her phone as soon as she boarded the train.
It seemed Chloe Gardner rarely got to see her son, so Hannah was incredibly clingy. Wherever Chloe went, he followed like a little shadow.
Chloe also had a grandmother. The old woman was getting on in years, but she was still hale and hearty. When Chloe was living in Portmire, it was mostly Miss Gardner who took care of Hannah.
After spending the whole morning on the train, Georgia felt she couldn't just sit around by evening, so she went to help Chloe cook in the kitchen.
