章 211: 199: Discovering Split Personality, Blasting the Cheap Man's Head (Part 2)_1

Selena Flores said it was not okay; she was already almost fourteen years old and not a little girl anymore.

Zack Allen didn't get angry. Instead, he just smiled and asked her if she needed anything. When she said she didn't, he left.

Selena was pruning branches, responding absently.

Yale Allen, with his backpack in tow and the cast on his left hand already removed, now covered in bandages with doodles on them, stood in front of her.

Selena had a great fondness for dolphins; many of her belongings were decorated with dolphin patterns.
