Summary
Jay resumes throwing the hacky-sack, the grainy thump a background rhythm to such a sweltering night on the Isle of the Lost. He says, with wry humor, “Besides. We’re not going to fucking college.”
Mal throws her head back and cackles, as if the mere idea is too hilarious to even contain. Maybe it is; the Isle’s worst Villain Kids, going to some fancy school in the heart of Auradon.

Ben does not become king at sixteen. Still, one way or another, the innocent leave the Isle. Unfortunately for everyone, nothing is that simple.

Had he been wrong to think she would like it, or was it simply not good enough? Had he managed to overlook something so obviously wrong that she had noticed it right away? Was he that stupid—that oblivious?
He opened his mouth to apologize, but Cruella was already talking (almost laughing, really)—
“It’s Mother’s Day,” she echoed. “Mother’s Day…”
