"I’m coming," Annalise answered, running to where Rafael stood so she could join him to take the small walk back to the house they were staying in. "Would you like something to drink or eat when we return?"
"No. We will be heading out to the orphanage right now and coming back in time before dinner. I will get you something to eat during our time in the orphanage," said Rafael.
