บท 88: What justice is this?

At the Jersey family estate, Bethany and Jocelyne sat together on the couch in their living room. Mother and daughter were doing nothing: they were just staring at a large clock on the wall. Or at least, Jocelyne was staring at him without even blinking, while Bethany's eyes went from her watch to her daughter about every ten minutes.

Finally, the older woman tried to break the ice: "Jocelyne, honey, do you want to read a book?"

"I don't want to"

"Do you want to watch tv?"

"No, thank you"

Bethany sighed. "I know what you're thinking, starlight, and believe me when I tell you that staring at that clock won't change anything. You should try to distract yourself"

"Mh" was the only response from her daughter, who didn't move her gaze from her watch an inch. Bethany shook her head: when she made up her mind something about her, her daughter became really stubborn.
