âThank you so much, everyone!â
I bit back my tears and smiled at these lovely and kind residents.
âYour well wishes mean the world to me!â
After the excitement died down, Sonya asked carefully, âDebra, will we be able to find better jobs after we settle down?â
She looked down at her feet, her worry lines looking a little more defined.
âWhile we love this town to bits, it wasnât able to develop well.
We donât want to live in poverty anymore.
I want to more to a more developed place-for my brother.
So I want to know if the new place is more prosperous than Roz Town.
â
The others echoed her sentiments.
âYes.
We also want to know.
â
I looked at their hopeful expressions and knew their concerns very well.
Without hesitation, I said sincerely, âDonât worry, everyone.
The new place is very well developed, and Caleb was thinking about your wellbeing when he selected that area.
He can surely guarantee that you will be able to find jobs and live a better life there.
â
âWill the people of the Thorn Edge Pack really accept us?â someone questioned anxiously.
At that moment, as though on cue, Caleb walked out.
He held my hand and said to the concerned resident earnestly, âYes, I can guarantee that youâll be accepted in the Thorn Edge Pack.
Debra will help you all assimilate into the new settlement as the future Luna of the Thorn Edge
Pack.
Everyone present cheered happily.
âHooray! In that case, we support you!â
After the crowd dispersed, Caleb and I went to the mayorâs office to tell Riley the good news.
Riley was very happy to hear it.
With shining eyes, she said, âNot bad, not bad at all! I have a good feeling about the votes!â

Together, we all sat in the main hall, waiting for the result of the votes on the screen.
The numbers danced on the screen, and the final result came out soon.
âHow could this be?â
Sallyâs dejected voice sounded at the sight of the number.
I also couldnât help but purse my lips.
The data showed that the number of people who agreed with the plan to move was almost equal to that of those who opposed it.
In a word, it was a draw, which meant that the plan to sell the town couldnât be carried out.
The situation reached a stalemate.
After thinking for a long time, Riley offered, âWhat if we hold an engagement ceremony for the two of you? The whole town will be invited.
