The banana pancakes truly were out of this world. Between them, Lisa and Brianna devoured three orders. “Okay, so how did Finn explain my situation? It’s not supposed to be common knowledge.”
“He didn’t give any details. He said someone has been harassing you. We’re supposed to be an extra set of eyes and ears.”
“I don’t want anyone getting hurt because of me. I couldn’t bear that.”
“Absolutely not. Finn gave us all strict orders. We’re supposed to call Will or nine-one-one if we see anything strange. You’re more vulnerable when you’re alone, that’s all. So you won’t be alone. End of story.”
“And if I want to be alone?”
“You’ll have to suck it up, buttercup.” Brianna winked at her. “Once the situation is resolved, you can ditch us all. Until then, you have your very own entourage.”
