Holly Winslow: "..."
When Anna Willow heard the words "get busy," she looked a little disappointed. "Holly, you have things to do later? I was hoping we could play pool."
Holly Winslow: "..."
'That's not the kind of "busy" he meant.'
She secretly stomped on Mortimer Quincy's foot before answering her, "It's my dad's birthday tomorrow. I need to thaw out all the ingredients tonight. If you and Ellie are free tomorrow, you should come over."
"Of course! I'll come help you out tomorrow," Anna Willow said, nodding with a grin.
...
Mortimer Quincy's parents weren't home, so he was staying the night at his father-in-law's house again.
11:00 PM.
When Mortimer Quincy came out of the shower, he saw Holly Winslow lying on her side, looking at her phone. The white light from the screen illuminated her face, which looked like it was on the verge of tears. "..."
'She's probably reading a novel.'
