The storage room was dusty and crammed with all kinds of things. When she was finished, Debbie was on the brink of tears. But she didn’t find the string of beads. When she emerged from the room, she was covered in dust from head to toe.
She walked into the living room to tell Valerie that she couldn’t find the beads, only to see Megan and Valerie sitting on the sofa enjoying fruit, as well as each other’s company. As soon as she showed her face in the Living room, Megan ordered, “Hey, you, pourswater. I need to take my medicine.”
