âYou really canât come in here. This is private properly, and trespassing is against the law!â The security
guard at the o his witâs end.
âI canât go in, but why can he? Karen pointed at Jeffrey in the cas âHeâs one of Heatherâs friends, and
Evesen getting hurt was Heatherâs fault. Maybe Jeffrey was in on it with her!â
The quard was flustered not quite catching the dr It of her accusations.
But Jeffrey inside the car could hear her loud and clear
He humed y got out, striding over with long steps and clamped his hand over Karenâs mouth.
âWould you mind not spouting nonsense?â
This was the Lopez familyâs turf. If Everettâs parents heard this, they might just get the wrong idea!
Mmmph! Mmm!â Karenâs muttled protests rang cui as she glared daggers, thrashing her arms and legs

Jeffrey didnât need to let go to know she was spitting fire with her words.
âLet me make this clear, cut the chatter or Iâll have you thrown out

âFinelâ Karen nodded, turned back to the gates, and cleared her throat, âJeffrey! Heâs in cahoots with

âWhat did you say?â
âI was talking about you. Too chicken to admit your feelings for Heather wenât you?â
âThat was in the pati! A long time ago!â Now, just the thought of Heather made Joffrey wish had never
