The next day, Landon Ford left very early, and as expected, Thea Shaw stayed in bed until eight in the morning.
She really didn't want to get up, but Aurora Sutton had already called.
"Yesterday, Dad called asking about you. I told him you were taking a bath."
Coming to Landon Ford's house last night was surely reported to Aurora Sutton, but Thea Shaw was still grounded, facing Mr. Sutton's check-ups.
Aurora Sutton covered for her; Mr. Sutton probably never thought that sweet Aurora would lie, so he simply trusted Aurora.
"Good brother!" Thea Shaw was touched: "You're really my good brother!"
Aurora Sutton corrected: "It's good sister!"
Thea Shaw: "Same thing! I'm catching a ride over now... Wait, is today the weekend? Are we working today?"
Everyone needs some rest; it's the weekend today, why work!
