Chapter 31
The mined sound of the car somehow made her feel better. Sofia looked out at the streets of Springfield, Illinois. It was still eight in the morning, and the sun cast a warm glow over the city
August in Springfield meant clear skies and a gentle breeze that rustled the leaves of the trees lining the streets. Sofia noticed fandes strolling on the sidewalks, kids riding their bikes, and neighbors chatting on their front porches. The city had a peaceful charm that she always loved.
