'Get yourself together, Shikera. You can do this! You planned for all this already, remember?'
Dabbing her eyes with her kerchief, Shikera stepped into the departmental store while pulling her empty luggage behind her. She headed straight to the clothes section, making sure to avoid all the CCTV cameras positioned at strategic locations in the store. She must not leave an hint of how she moved, for Liam or...Ethan, if he cared to look for her.
She threw a quick glance at the watch on her wrist to see that an hour passed since she left Chris alone.
"Esther would be almost home by now," she mumbled unconsciously. She had to be fast and get out of this place before Esther got home and make everyone wonder why she was not home too.
