Rosie was now old enough for school. Noelle had already chosen a kindergarten for her in Stormridge, but now, going back there was no longer an option.

In the end, it was Hendrix who decided on Rosie's kindergarten-a prestigious international school in Coppersville.

The school catered to students from prominent family backgrounds, with facilities and resources that far surpassed anything Noelle had previously considered.
