1.) Creating dialogue that will help introduce a conflict for why the character Lauren is maybe missing was a suggestion I found intriguing and would allow me to create a little more background information.

Epilogue that explains before graduation with Lauren’s Adoption Mother and Daniel about the search for her and to stay positive. Readers will see they’ve genuinely formed a bond over Lauren missing and search to find
