ACT 1 — IMMEDIATE CONTINUATION Oliver tugged on Arya’s apron, his hands moving rapidly. “Please don’t leave. Nobody ever talks to us like this. Daddy tries, but he doesn’t know how.” Sophie signed something that made Arya’s eyes fill with tears. “Are you going to leave us too? Everyone always leaves.” “I’m not going anywhere…
ACT 1 — IMMEDIATE CONTINUATION Wendy stood frozen at the doorway of the police station, her mind still spinning. How had this happened? She had never stolen anything in her life.

ACT 1 — IMMEDIATE CONTINUATION The east conference room was smaller than the grand chamber but carried greater tension.

ACT 1 — IMMEDIATE CONTINUATION The meeting room buzzed with whispers when they returned from Victoria’s office. Dorothy raised her hand for silence. “I think we all witnessed something remarkable.
