Upon leaving the prison, Natalie fished out her phone and saved the conversation she had with Alice. Then, she got into her car and drove to the kindergarten to pick the two children up.

After picking them up, she dialed Shane's number to ask what time he was getting off work.

Natalie nodded. “Okay.”
