Kapitel 191: Swap Them Out.

The two women stayed like that until late afternoon, with Hazel going down to the kitchen only once in an hour, to refill their glasses and her own snacks plate, since Shikera could not eat it.

Shikera had watched the video for over a dozen times now and even though she would happily admit that her eyes were only on Ethan and admiring him most of the time, she was sure she would be able to repeat everything he did in the video. Her photographic memory would be able to work till that extent.

She rose from the bed to go to the bathroom, when a loud scream from downstairs jolted her. She turned to Hazel, "Isn't that Esther?"

"Sounds like her. But Esther never screams," Hazel replied.

Shikera checked the time on her phone to see that it was thirty minutes past four, and Esther was supposed to be home a few minutes ago.

"Were you not supposed to pick her up? Or did Ethan tell you not to worry?" Shikera asked.
