One glance was all it took for Magve to understand the gravity of the situation.

Zion had been back for a few days, and Kurt had announced that Zion would take over the family.

Charlie opened the car door for Lyra. After she stepped out of the car, she noticed that Marve was nowhere to be seen. Lyra looked around and asked, "Where's Mavy? Why isn't she here?" "Hush!" Charlie covered Lyra's mouth, but she swatted his hand and frowned. "What's the matter?"
