Evelina, hiding her impatience with a smile, replied, "Lemmy left a while ago with that school doctor. Dunno where he got all those sports cars from, but they sure made an exit."

Alaric's expression darkened instantly, "Lucian, why didn't you stop her? Exams are over; we can't let Lemira run wild!"
