Rain lashes the high school windows, a grey curtain obscuring the Yorkshire afternoon. Inside, the classroom silence shatters under the wail of distant ambulance sirens. Olivia’s stomach drops.

The cold teacher is gone, replaced by a frantic woman offering a ride to the hospital, stepping in where the family failed, ready to care for the abandoned girl.
