Fred was seething.
It didn't take him long to piece together what Nimah had been up to. After all, he'd been on the receiving end of her pranks countless times before. He knew the way her mind worked when it came to mischief. It was as though the very essence of a prank carried her signature. Her handiwork was unmistakable.
Still, he found himself unwilling to believe it. It didn't make sense. Nimah wouldn't just go back to her old ways—not after everything that had happened, not after her injury. He had been so sure her pranking days were behind her, more out of necessity than choice. She wouldn't risk putting herself in harm's way again, would she?

Tracking her down was easy—it always was. Nimah wasn't exactly subtle when she was scheming. But confronting her? That was an entirely different challenge.
Fred didn't want to lash out without thinking it through, didn't want to unleash his frustration without first hearing her side. But he was carrying so much—anger, guilt, fear. It all simmered beneath the surface, threatening to boil over.
