Ingress loved staying with Amy and her family in Ambergelder. The dancing, the yummy feasts, the pretty dresses, having fun without thinking about anything but pleasant holiday thoughts. She was sad to leave, but she knew it was good to go back for Tom's birthday. It made Door smile, too, having her back. She missed them, too, of course, but she wasn't sad when it was time to go to Shadow with Sallie.

Shadow is totally different from Ambergelder. It's not as fancy, but there are things Ingress has never seen there. Megwyn has a nice stable to stay in, and plenty of hands to help take care of her. There's plenty of room to ride and race and explore.

And, of course, Sallie is there, and she keeps Ingress busy in very good ways. Today she's promised Ingress they'll bake a pie! She's never baked a pie before.

Ingress is reading a book on the sofa, waiting, and warming herself before the big fireplace. It's funny; the fire in the hearth looks a little like the fires she's seen wizards and witches step out of when visiting the Wizarding world with Tom. She wonders why, but mostly, she just enjoys sitting here, not having to be scared or worried. It's brilliant.
