Rowan's duty of "babysitting" or adultsitting Alice had been moved to Clarisse, who seemed like a really nice and chill lady. So it had been Clarisse whom she informed that she was leaving the estate before noon to go visit her mother, a.k.a Priscilla.
That was a lie.
Rowan had still thankfully served her breakfast in her room and let her know the others were all out except himself and Clarisse.
The fact that most of them were not around made her feel more confident to take the car out.
She'd dressed well. Too well, maybe. Picking out an outfit from yesterday's shopping spree had taken forever. She'd found several things she didn't even remember choosing or Hades pointing at, which made her suspect the sales attendants had taken advantage of Hades's wallet and indifference. But today wasn't the day to fuss over that.
