Malachi spared the constable a glance, but didn't bother to acknowledge his question beyond that. He had no legal reason to bring the young mother in.

Unsure as he was about where they were headed, he sped up, pushing the cart faster to keep up with Ruth. If he went any faster, could he get the constable to jog?

"You're not really supposed to question it," he replied, "but I think it's good to be curious. See the sun?"

Taking one hand off the cart for a moment, Malachi pointed up at the sun, before it dropped back to the handle.

"He put that up there, like a candle that he blows out at night. That's how he divided the light from the darkness, and why we have days and nights."

Sounded like a good enough answer, even if it was one he made up on the spot.
