The woman with Fire Opal eyes.
Cinderella knew about this woman. As a reader of Ewen's, she often saw this character in Ewen's books.
Ewen's description of her was extremely limited. In Ewen's writing, she had no name, no specific age, no clear appearance or attire, only those eyes like Fire Opals.
She was like a ghostly character, an unknowable mystery, an unsolvable problem, interspersed within the narrative, watching the characters' departures and returns.
Cinderella rubbed her face hard, her ears almost perked up, carefully listening to every word Ewen was about to say, afraid of missing something.
"Let me think..."
Ewen twisted his somewhat stiff neck. The damp rain was not kind to his aging body.
