Because she will leave Country Y tomorrow, Ms. Bert and others are packing things to return to Kingstown first. Lucas Quinn, Harley Morris, Sebastian Wolfe, Joyce Wolfe, Julian Wolfe, and others are talking in the study, but every half hour, Lucas checks on Charlotte Allison downstairs.
Sometimes he sees her sitting by the window reading a book; sometimes Ms. Bert is asking her which things can be packed together or which should be taken back; sometimes she's walking in the small garden in the front yard...
In short, he confirms nothing's happening with her before returning to the study.
Charlotte Allison is currently lying on a recliner in the yard, with a sun umbrella beside her. She's lying in the shade, watching the leaves outside the yard fence sway in the wind, birds startled and chirping, protesting their disturbance by the wind.
While watching, she falls asleep.
When she wakes up, she sees that only ten minutes have passed.
She lazily stretches and idly zones out.
