Crystal's POV:

Ever since Flora left, I had been restless. It had been for a long time, but there was still no sign of her coming back. Something must have gone wrong, I thought, otherwise I would have heard from her already. Anxious, I started pacing in the room. Arron was also affected by my anxiety that he skipped breakfast and sat quietly on the sofa to keep me company.

"Why are you two..." Flora shook her head at me the instant I opened my mouth.
