Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1817

When they finally stepped into the classroom, they couldn't believe their eyes. There was Fiona, lounging back and watching a show on her tablet without a care in the world. The three of them just stood there, dumbfounded, thinking she must be totally out of the loop.

Jane, ever the quick one, rushed over to Fiona and gave her arm a gentle poke. "Hey, do you even know what's going on?"
