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.

“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.
