At dusk, the principal asked her to stop by his office.

Pushing open the office door, her gaze landed immediately on the middle-aged man sitting in the executive chair.

The principal, standing to the side, looked especially deferential.

Gemma was sitting on a couch, a cup of tea before her, and when she saw Zoey enter, she couldn't help but let out a snort of disdain.
