The moment she got it, Morwenna anxiously checked for any messages or calls. She scrolled through her apps and texts, finding only two messages from Claude and a missed call from him. Since the incident with Norbert Hetfield, she hadn't received a single call from Stuart. Before that, they used to talk every day.
