Silas Grant was caught in a media firestorm just a few days after Mia Grant had moved to Englaria.
Silas had taken her there for her first day.
He had already arranged for the house to be cleaned, so all she had to do was put away the personal belongings she'd brought with her.
Silas had initially planned to stay for a week to help her settle in before he left.
But in the end, he couldn't. He had to fly back home that very first night.
Mia didn't know what was going on. When she asked, he just said there was a small problem with a company project that he had to return home to handle personally.
He didn't offer any details, and Mia figured she wouldn't have understood them anyway. She just told him not to work too hard and to make sure he got some rest.
Mia hadn't brought much with her, but with all the miscellaneous odds and ends, it still took her two full days to finish unpacking.
As a result, her mind wasn't on anything else.
