"𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒐𝒘?" Corinne asked, making Harlow look up. "𝑰𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅? 𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆. 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔, 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕. 𝑮𝒐 𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅, 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒐𝒘.

Harlow got up as she slowly made her way down the stairs. "𝑨𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒏. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒆. 𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒕'𝒅 𝒂 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒕." Corinne smirked as she heard the footsteps above her. "𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏, 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒐𝒘?"

"𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒐𝒘, 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆!" Braeden yelled, making Harlow back away from the stairs.

"𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒐𝒘, 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏." Corinne said. Harlow made her way slowly down the stairs.

"𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒓!" Braeden yelled.

"𝑰'm 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑, 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒐𝒘. 𝑰'𝒎 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒎𝒆." Corinne said.

"I didn't steal anything." Harlow said.
