* 27 years ago an entire class vanished, until a desperate mother noticed a crucial detail…

Twenty-seven years ago, an entire class of young students vanished during a school trip, disappearing without a trace, and leaving their families devastated. Authorities suspected the male teacher who had disappeared with them was involved, but with no bodies found and few leads to follow, the investigation eventually went cold. Yet through all these years one desperate mother never gave up hope, clinging to the small chance that her daughter was still out there somewhere.

Then one day while looking through old photographs she noticed a crucial detail that everyone had overlooked, a detail that would change the entire case and shock everyone involved in ways no one could have imagined.

Laura Calloway woke up on the morning of September 28th, 2023, with a heavy heart.

The grey cloudy sky outside her window mirrored her sombre mood. She had been preparing herself for this day, but even so the grief and heartache were overwhelming. It was exactly twenty-seven years since her daughter Rory had disappeared.

Slowly Laura rose from her bed and made her way to the dressing table. There, hanging on the mirror, was a close-up photo of Rory in her uniform. Laura gently took the photo in her hands, her eyes welling up with tears as she gazed at her daughter’s smiling face.

Oh Rory, she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion. But Laura quickly took a deep breath, steeling herself against the wave of sorrow threatening to engulf her. She had endured the worst of times over the past twenty-seven years, and she knew she had to stay strong.

After washing her face and getting dressed, Laura checked her phone. There was a text from her best friend, Helen Carter. You’re not alone in this.

All of us still remember. If you need company, come over to my place any time. Helen was also a mother of one of the vanished children.

Laura felt a small comfort knowing that she wasn’t alone in her grief. She replied to Helen’s message, asking if it would be okay to come over now. Helen’s response was immediate and welcoming.

Before leaving, Laura went to the kitchen and gathered a few packets of earl grey lavender tea and a jar of cookies from her collection. The thought of arriving empty-handed at her friend’s house didn’t sit well with her, even after all these years of friendship. As Laura stepped out of her house and began the short walk to Helen’s, she couldn’t help but reflect on the loneliness she had experienced since losing her husband.

Helen had become one of the few people who truly understood her pain, and had been there for her through the darkest times. The neighbourhood was quiet as Laura made her way down the familiar streets. The houses looked much the same as they had twenty-seven years ago, a stark contrast to how much her life had changed.

As she approached Helen’s house just a few blocks from her own, she saw the front door open before she even had a chance to knock. Helen greeted her with a warm, understanding smile, and enveloped her in a comforting hug. Come in, dear, she said softly, ushering Laura inside.

Laura handed Helen the cookie jar and tea packets as they made their way to the kitchen. Helen busied herself with boiling water for the tea, while Laura settled onto the living-room sofa. The familiar surroundings of Helen’s home provided a small measure of comfort on this difficult day.

As they waited for the water to boil, Helen turned to Laura and asked gently, how are you doing? Laura sighed, her eyes downcast. I’m trying to keep up. You know how it is, this day is always the hardest.

She paused, gathering her thoughts. Even though I’ve learned to live with it, the past still haunts me, especially today. Helen nodded in understanding.

It’s the same for me, she admitted. Remember, I completed my therapy last year. While I’ve accepted the past and tried to reign in all the what-ifs that would eat me alive, I can’t deny that this day is especially hard.

I’m not sure if that means I need to go back to therapy. The kettle whistled, and Helen poured the hot water into two cups, bringing them to the coffee-table in front of the sofa. The comforting aroma of earl grey and lavender filled the air, providing a small moment of peace in the midst of their shared grief.

As they sat together sipping their tea, Laura felt grateful for Helen’s presence. They had formed a bond through their shared tragedy, supporting each other through the years, when it seemed like no one else could truly understand their pain. The weight of their loss hung heavy in the air, but there was also a sense of solidarity, a reminder that they were not alone in their grief….
