Amanda had discreetly arranged for Charlotte to sit between Luna and herself. Although they painted quite a happy picture of a wholesome family, in reality, the set-up was meant to trap Charlotte between them so she couldn’t escape.

“You looked like a girl the last time we saw you, and now you look like a woman!” Another aunt, Aunt Geraldine, chimed in on purpose. “Amanda, what were you saying about Charlotte’s kids? Do you mean that she’s already married with kids now?”
