❛ It’s a twin thing. ❜
“Of course it is,” she says flatly from her spot on the ground, surrounded by odd magical knickknacks and books and heady smelling herbs. Some things that really worked. Some that didn’t. “What, you really thought that whole I- know- what- you- did- last- summer thing was real?”
She could have laughed. She and her brother’s powers stretched far. But even they had their limits and they ended at the ridiculous. “He’s been my ear piece this whole time. You’d be surprised what people tell him when he flashes that smile of his. Half the reason he doesn’t do it so often, I guess. And then he tells me everything.” A wicked look crosses her face then, creating shadows in the corners of her eyes. “Ain’t nothing that he’s found out that I don’t already know. You’re welcome, by the way,” she adds. “Your problem won’t be bothering you for quite a while. So it’s a job well done from me.”
She readjusts herself on the floor, turning to face him where he still hovers by the door frame of her dorm. A shadow darkening her doorstep. The wicked look leaves her all of a sudden as she tilts her head at him, mouth rounded out in innocence. “Hey, do you want to tell me a secret?”
