Serena Zimmerman had no real reason to look for Athena Linton. Just as she was getting ready to go downstairs to see if there was anything she needed to do, she stepped out of her room and saw Athena Linton's door was wide open. She peeked in, but the room was empty.
The first thought that came to her mind was that her daughter had gone to find Lily Turner again. Without further thought, she immediately headed toward Easton Holmes and Lily Turner's room. Through the half-open door, she indeed saw her daughter was inside.
"Come out, mom wants to talk to you."
Kids may not understand, but as an adult, she couldn't afford to act clueless.
"Why can't you just come in and say it?"
Athena Linton reluctantly headed toward the door, but as she did, she didn't forget to turn back and say to Lily Turner, "Goddess sister! I'll be right back, okay?"
She thought her mom really needed something from her and had no idea that she was just being asked to leave.
