“Penelope!” The tense atmosphere was broken by Leah Flanagan–Eaden’s voice, calling from the doorway, “Lucian is here too? You guys

Lucian pulled his hands back, glanced at Allison, and said calmly. “Penelope’s dress got dirty. I was just helping her change.”

As soon as he left, the smile on Leah Flanagan–Eaden’s face faded. She slapped Allison hard across the face, “You poor little bitch, don’t forget your place. You’re just Penelope’s stand–in!” She dared flirt with Lucian when she wasn’t looking! Luckily, she caught it in time.
