Samantha's ears picked up every single one of Fabian's words.
"Yeah, she wears this mask all the time and I can't see her face. She claims it's just a little injury that she's still recovering from. She might be deceiving me though. I bet her face is absolutely ruined, which is why she's afraid to show it to me!"
"I didn't see that little b*stard today. The Gilligans probably felt ashamed to let that little runt see me!"

Just how sh*tty is my luck to be forced to pick up the pieces!"
"And that Mrs. Gilligan was treating me like a fool by praising Athena to the moon. Who knows how many men she has slept with in the past!"
Samantha clenched her hand little by little.
