A while later, I was done dressing up.

I went down the stairs checking my phone to see if there were messages for me but there were none – not even from Nanny. I opened my chat with Nathan, my last message was still unread and it’s been 8 months now. Was he angry with me? Did I do something?

Another voice responded, sounding low and suppressed but equally angry. It was Mr Dupree.

“This is taking too long. We should have settled all of this a while ago and moved on to more important things.”
