Still no reply. A shadow suddenly flew along the hallway, causing me to jump back.

The younger twin rolled her eyes, "I'm not giving it away. It's called a loan, Jeremy."

The doorbell suddenly rang and I had an idea of who it was, "Would that be your boyfriend?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
