Angela also didn't know what to do.
Until tonight, she wasn't aware that Jessica and Jason had a divorce. Her husband kept on warning her to not let Sam know.
Sam was already old to receive such news.

It was already evening when they returned to North Yard.
The place was in complete darkness.
"Is there no one here?" Nina squinted her eyes through the dark to try and see if there was soone at ho. She took out her phone and used it as a flashlight so that they could see their surroundings better.
As soon as they had reached the garden, Nine ca scurrying towards her with a flag dangling from the corner of his mouth. The flag glowed in the dark. Nina took it and found three words written on it. "Co with ."
The words sparkled like gold.
