Flint was glad the girl followed and quickened his pace when he realised the girl was late.
The girl wrote something else down, 'sorry, I can't actually talk, I'm mute" she opened her mouth to show a small stub where her tongue used to be.
"How did something like that happen?" Flint asked, slightly worried about asking. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want but..it is the blaring question here" Flint smiled awkwardly. The girl was probably the most interesting person he had ever met, and yet he knew nothing about her.
