Elaine’s words must’ve been a hell of a shocker, ’cause everyone around fell silent.

Burton felt embarrassed, his face turning red. He quickly approached and pulled Elaine away.

Elaine struggled all the way.

Eileen laughed, ignored them, and beckoned two little white monkeys over.

Eddie was stumped, asking, “What’s the difference?”
