Seeing the concern etched on Faye's face, when she mentioned the little girl, Grace asked.
""Is everything alright with her?"
Faye cast a glance at Charles before saying, we'll talk at a convenient time. But you must know that Cindy-Lou is fine and is a bit late to school today.
The later part was said specifically for Charles who was still looking sad as he stared at the corner.
"Let's head back to class, Charles. We will come back to look for her later."
Somehow, Charles did not throw a tantrum and obedient did what the other kids were doing in class, probably because of the reassurance he got from Grace's presence.
The only difference was that he practically kept to himself most of the time. But Grace believed that was going to change with time.
With the way things were, they were making significant progress.
During break when the children were taking a nap, Grace approached Faye and broached the topic about Cindy-Lou.
