Caroline walked up the hall and saw Lucia walking out of Adela's room. She breathed a sigh of relief. She would have never looked for her in there.
"We are ready to go," Caroline told Lucia with a bright smile.
Lucia nodded and walked towards her room. Caroline frowned. Her little sister looked pale.
"Are you okay?" Caroline asked wondering what Adela had said to her that took all the colour from her.
Lucia paused at her door and wordlessly shook her head. The look on her face was reassuring but there were shadows in her eyes. She was not okay. Caroline narrowed her eyes at her. What had Adela done now? She had not wanted to get into a fight with her before she left. Should she?
"Meet me downstairs," Caroline said as she walked towards Adela's door, "I need to talk to Dela before we go."
"Okay," Lucia said and Caroline could hear the hoarseness in her voice.
