Chapter 113: Mary

Nefretiri

"Luna, would you please let me do that?'' Terry begs for the fifth time. "I don't think you should be so high up!"

Ignoring his request again, I pin up another set of twinkle lights near the ceiling before moving to the next spot.

"Oh, now you're too far out on that ladder!" AJ yells. "Luna, you'll fall!"

"If I do, Greg will catch me," I yell.

"No offense to the pup, but that's a long way down, and he's not as fast as some of us!" Terry winces when he watches me reach the furthest point to put another pin. I probably shouldn't tell them I'd already fallen twice, and both times Greg caught me. We'd turned it into a messed-up game.
