Sapphire Springs Resort was sprawling, and Charlene had no clue where Thorne and the gang were.

Descending the stairs, she found no sign of them.

The day hadn’t turned to night just yet, so Charlene, with the help of two staff members, decided to head up the hill.

Turning, she found herself face–to–face with Granger.
