Madelyn watched as Zach walked out of the room. After he closed the door, she pressed a hand against her racing heart, wondering, ‘Will he suspect anything now?’ She had dropped hints before, mentioning her plans to leave Ventropolis and move thousands of miles away to Lorville after the college entrance exams.
