in:
"Scarlett! You were late, and you owetwo presents now!"

"G-granny! When did you cover?!" Scar tries to smile, but guilt and panic take up her eyes for her lashing
out earlier. We have never fought in front of Granny, ever. "Just now! You have no idea how fantastic | was
fighting those reporters off!" With a bright smile, Granny hooks her arm on Scar's, bragging like a child fishing for
praise. But when | follow, Granny turns slightly and blockswith her back, keepingbehind them.
