Arabel's POV
Just as the school bell rings, I park in the driveway, stepping out quickly and walking towards the waiting room, where I will pick Daisy up.
When I get there, I see most of the children getting picked up by their parents, but Daisy isn't there yet.
I furrow my brow because this is unusual before moving out to check the teacher's office.
Before I get there, the teacher, Mrs. Maxwell, comes into view, our eyes connecting. Rather than her usual smile, a hint of sadness pierces her expression, prompting me to rush forward in panic.
“Mrs. Mathew?” I call as soon as I am within reach. “Is everything okay?" Where is Daisy? I couldn't find her in the waiting room...”
“She is with me.” She points towards her office before signalling for me to follow.
Without any more questions, I stride after her with anxiety. I am refraining from bombarding her with questions about why Daisy is in her office instead of the waiting room.
But the fact that Daisy is fine is assuring.
The office doo
