Camille and Emma arrived back at the house. Camille was quick to question Greta about the man who had left moments before. Greta, with her usual bluntness, replied, Ethan’s grandfather was here, but honestly, I didn’t understand much of what happened.”

Camille and Emma exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of confusion and worry.

“Why do you say that, Greta?” Camille asked, her tone slightly apprehensive.

“Well,” Greta began, “the missus and the man hugged for a long time and then went into the study for quite a while. I don’t know what to think…” Greta added, looking genuinely puzzled.

“Don’t jump to conclusions, Greta,” Emma interjected, trying to lighten the mood. “Maybe your eyesight is playing tricks on you. Go and prepare us some relaxing jasmine tea, would you? And by the way, do you know where Valerie is?”

“Yes, Mrs. Emma, she’s in the study,” Greta replied, before heading off to make the tea.

“Did you get to the school on time?” Valerie asked, attempting to sound nonchalant as she dried her eyes.
