Charlotte glanced at the screen and saw a phone number that she didn’t recognize. After hesitating for a moment, she finally answered it.

“Mrs. Windt…” It was a little boy’s voice.

She froze for a moment before asking in confusion, “You are?”

“I’m Timothy.” The voice over the phone was soft and his tone cautious. “Do you remember me? I’m Elisa’s classmate.”

“Yes, I remember.” Charlotte was shocked as she had never expected the little boy to call her.

“T-Tell me.”
