Cricket opened the door

Rylee smiled “Come in Cricket, you can stay”

“Yes, ma’am”

“Since you are Gaby’s handler, you must swear to keep what I’m about to tell you to yourself”

Gaby obeyed, trusting Rylee’s decision

Rylee winked at Gaby and then turned to Cricket “Gaby is a wolf-segen, also known as a wolf charmer”
