Autumn walked on down the worn road, barely seeing it, after Ann had left. Ann had reminded Autumn so much of her little brother, and now she wished that she could see him again, before she left. Looking up, the hobbit noticed Dinadad, who was walking along with tears in his eyes. Autumn felt sorry for him; she knew how it felt to leave brothers and sisters behind to go on this journey.
Autumn picked up her speed, waved to Giles that she would be right back and went over to talk toDinadas. She saw him quickly wipe his tears away as she approached, and Autumn smiled at him. She could tell that he was trying to appear tough to the rest of the company, and her heart ached for the pain that he must be going throught right then; the pain that she knew very well in her own heart.
