By the time they got back to Kevanâs house, Ruby had already wiped the vicious expression off her face. Bethany also patied down her clothes and wiped the tears from her face, Only her swollen eyes couldnât be hidden. Ruby glared at her scomfully and said âWhen Daddy asks about it later, you know what to say, donât you?
Bethany nooded hard and said loudly. âAster pushed me on purpose and I fell down!â Cnly then did Ruby press the intercom Two minutes Later, Kevan s velce sounded over the intercom amicst the static, making it sound husky. âWho is It?
