His grip on the phone tightened , his tone dropping into something sharp and demanding Noelle , who was that speaking just now ? Uh the driver , Noelle answered honestly , her voice tinged with her usual breeziness .

The driver ? Elis frown deepened No ordinary driver would address her as Miss Anderson A troubling thought passed through his mind , and his voice dropped another octave .

You stay right there at the school gate .

Eli barked , trying to rein in his frustration .
