The big, black car came to a slow stop in front of the university's heavy metal gates. Two figures dressed in dark suits stepped out first. They were Holloways, standing tall and looking sharp. Elara followed right behind them. During the long drive, she had kept the buttons of her coat loose to stay comfortable, but as she stepped out into the air, she carefully fastened them. She wanted to look perfect.
She walked up the stairs last and took her place next to her sister, Melina. Melina looked elegant and kind in her own black suit, already wearing the face of a perfect leader. As Melina began to give a long, boring speech about how the university would grow and how the Holloway family wanted to help, Elara tuned everything out.
