The Luna Choosing Game
Chapter 72
“9?” someone gasped.
I agreed, that seemed like so many people to be eliminated all at once!

Olivia and Linda smiled tightly at each other.

“Oops. How terribly clumsy of me.” Olivia held out a tissue. “This might help.
Linda’s face turned red. “Why, you!” She moved to slap Olivia, but Olivia ducked out of the way just in
