Chapter 102 - The Decision

Hailee's POV

A knot twisted in my stomach. "Peter, you're scaring me. What's going on?"

"I overheard something tonight," he said, his words quick and clipped. "They're not waiting for you to finish your last papers. In fact, by tomorrow, they'll be asking you—and Violet —to come back."

My stomach dropped. "What? Why?"

I gripped the phone tighter. "No… no, that's not possible. They can't—"

"It is what's happening, Hailee," he cut in, his voice sharp. "I wish I was wrong, but I'm not. The conversations are already in motion. They're making plans."
