"Where is Serena?"
The entire table fell silent, all eyes turning to Edwina Dawn as her question hung in the air. Confusion flickered across their faces as they exchanged glances, uncertain who would answer first.
"Why do you all look so clueless?" Edwina Dawn asked carefully, "Surely, you know who Serena is. Or have you all forgotten? Ava?" She turned her sharp gaze toward her granddaughter who almost jumped from her seat.. "Serena is your age. And I made sure to place her in your class.. I specifically told you to look out for her, help her. Surely, you know where she's gone by now? With your friendly nature, I would have thought the two of you sisters would be thick as thieves by now."
