Jesse rubbed her nose with a wry smile, brushing off the concern as she said, “Got into a
scuffle this afternoon.”
“With who?”
“It’s over, Estrella. Let’s not dig into it.”

After a particularly nasty incident in middle school, Jesse had changed. Her father, under the constant influence of Damita’s whispers, had grown colder towards her. Life as a Manning wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for Jesse.
