Her pale eyes began to redden tears slowly gathering at the corners before they spilled down her cheeks heavy and uncontrollable
At that moment the sound of the butler s voice reached them from outside Mr Larson something s wrong

Wendy furrowed her brow her mind racing with thoughts
Stanley walked up beside her wrapping an arm around her shoulders Why would Jessica just disappear like that Where do you think she went
Wendy gazed in the direction Horace had gone her voice calm but filled with quiet certainty Don t worry She ll be fine She won t let anything happen to herself
Stanley nodded thoughtfully
