“I’m almost nineteen.” She answered with absolute confidence, chin tilted up as if daring him to challenge her.

Anthony felt a wave of relief wash over him. If she could still talk back, she was fine. He leaned down, scooped her up into his arms, and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “Alright, my nineteen-year-old baby.”

The next morning, after breakfast, Charlotte set her utensils down and ruffled Stella’s hair. “Eat a little more, okay?”

She headed upstairs to grab her bag. Stella smiled and nodded, watching Charlotte leave before her gaze dropped to Anthony, who sat nearby. She looked nervous, her eyes flicking toward him with a mix of fear and hesitation. She opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

It had been a few days since news broke about Charlotte’s perfect score, but the buzz online just kept growing. Reporters couldn’t track her down. Aside from a single leaked photo, nobody had managed to get any new pictures of her. The journalists were losing hope.
