"Where's Flora?" Eilies asked Cynthia, her voice tinged with worry.

Cynthia, pinching the bridge of her nose, showed Eilies the picture Flora had sent her.

Eilies glanced at it and let out a sigh. "Unbelievable."

Jules, a visiting professor at the University of Maple Grove's School of Medicine, rarely taught classes. Today was a special occasion with one of his rare public lectures, and almost every medical student had shown up.
