"Worried? Nah, I live away from my parents. I live by myself in the dorms because I am a grown up! I can handle myself!" Though, that wasn't entirely true. She still had nannies and babysitters to tend to her, but once they went off duty, she imagined her caretakers were more than happy to rid their minds of her.

"Should we go back? While there's still a little bit of sunlight left? I hate walking in the dark... You never know when something is going to pop out at you." Anna wrinkled up her nose accordingly. She hated surprises.
