“What is it?”

Josie narrowed her eyes, and to her surprise, she saw a striking red mark on the fair nape of Laura’s neck, which was now turning into a bruise. She touched it lightly and asked, “What is this? Did Zach hit you again?”

Almost reflexively, Laura covered her neck and said, “No. I accidentally bumped into something.”

Josie raised an eyebrow. “It’s not easy to bump into something here, right?” She was still worried. “Don’t be afraid. Tell me, who hit you?”
