She fought the momentary urge to call him back, but she knew that it would do no good.It was better if she and Ruby let him be. If just for a little bit.In some ways, Koln was more mature than she and Ruby put together. And, Clover concluded, that he would most likely make it back to the dorm with no problem. She hoped.Clover began to walk in the other direction, back towards the mall to catch the bus. She heard Ruby's soft pitter-patter footsteps a foot or so behind her, but mostly she felt alone. They didn't speak for some time, but when they found themselves at the bus stop with fifteen minutes to spare, having walked quickly, Clover found it appropriate to break the silence. It had been nagging Clover for a while now. Ever since they had begun to talk about families.Carefully, she turned to her Amish friend and asked, "Ruby? I've wanted to ask you. But Koln get a little touchy whenever we bring it up. Um... your family. I mean... where do they think you are?"</blockquote>
