And then he pointed at the lights ahead of them. "We are near Albony," Evie said. "Remember the name on the map. We can spend the night here, and after that, we will cross the borders tomorrow," Evie said, failing to see Alberto's alertness as he looked back twice. "Miss Evie," a deep, raspy voice sounded next to her, which scared her out of her skin.
"It is me, Alberto," the voice sounded again as she looked at him. "You can talk?" she asked, her jaw dropped. "Yes," he said. "Then why didn't you talk?" "It is because I find talking quite bothersome," he said, surprising Evie more.
