Clare Hartill, a formidable woman in her mid-thirties, effectively runs the school, commanding the admiration of her students through her strict yet magnetic presence.

As Alwynne and Clare grow closer, their bond flourishes on summer travels abroad. However, a unique tension simmers beneath the surface, as Loveday and Hartill vie for Alwynnes attention, each striving to assert their influence in her life.
