Early the next morning, Kenneth and Louisa were up and about, sitting in the living room, their eyes occasionally darting upstairs.
Seeing their attention constantly divided, Edith couldn't help but ask, "Are you waiting for Ms. Rose to wake up?"
Louisa nodded. "We thought we'd have breakfast together."
"Ms. Rose left before dawn with a backpack on her shoulders. It looked like she was planning a long journey."
"Rose has already left?" Louisa expressed surprise. It was barely past seven in the morning. Where could the young girl be heading off to with her bag packed?
"Do you think she might have gone to school? Did she pack some clothes to change into?" Kenneth offered. "Why don't you give her a call?"
If nothing was going on at school, maybe she could take some time off and join them abroad.
Louisa dialed Rosemary's number, only to be met with the automated voice message: The number you have dialed is currently switched off.
