Once they had confirmed who was returning, Evelyn Ford set the departure date for three days later.
Everyone was saddened by the impending separation, with the sole exception of Mia, Rory, and Belle. They were overjoyed because they wouldn't have to part ways and could play together from now on.
Mia was happy because she would finally have playmates. Back in Corinth, everyone doted on her, but she had no one her own age. Zoe was more than ten years older, so Mia had always run wild and played by herself. But now, she not only had big brothers and sisters, but little ones too.
Liam Sterling and the others even mobilized everyone to pick fruits and vegetables from the fields, wishing they could send everything that wasn't nailed down back to Corinth with Evelyn Ford's group.
