anxiety.
“That's not something you need to worry about,” Emily replied.
But Ella wasn’t backing down and insisted, desperation creeping into her voice, “I'm her daughter, Emily. Tell me
what's happening.”

“You can’t see Ms. Turner right now,” Emily said.
“Why?” Ella pressed, her voice urgent

Ella stood in the cold wind, shivering slightly. Christmas was just around the corner, and usually, no matter how
busy her mom was, they always spent it together. But this year, she was being sent away. A feeling of
suffocation tightened around her
chest.

Sofia.
“Hey, are you on Keris Isle yet?” Sofia asked.
He frowned, glancing over at Stephanie. “You're here?” he asked, surprised.
Sofia’s voice was a blend of excitement and irritation. “I’m on Stefi’s yacht, enjoying a little vacation. And guess

“No, I'm not there now,” Sebastian replied.
“Oh, never mind then. Let's talk when we're back in Fiorenza,” Sofia said.
