Scarlett, once poised and polished, now resembled a shattered porcelain dollher hair a windswept mess and her once-crisp outfit caked in dust.

Lilys eyes brightened when she saw Elizabeth.

She rose quickly, her voice pleading.

Scarlett didnt intend to cause trouble! These roads are treacherous, and accidents happen constantly.

Elijah and Oliver walked in.

Oliver stepped forward, his tone precise.
