Ian Shaw had already gone to school; apparently, Ethan Shaw had taken him. Naomi Kenway woke up rather late today, so she missed them.

I absolutely have to go through with it!" Her voice was firm with resolve.
"Where are you now?" Naomi Kenway asked.
"We're at my parents' house now, but..." Her voice cracked, thick with unshed tears.
