"Are you going to take me with you on your next long trip?"
"I promise to be a very well behaved sister!"
Madison clung to Wiona's arm and shook it back and forth until Wiona felt like she might fall apart.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry and quickly agreed. "Okay, okay."
"Next time we will go somewhere fun together."
"But wait, have you been dealing with something upsetting?"
"Madison, is your family bullying you again?"
Wiona thought of Kyle's sudden engagement to Sophie and suspected that it might have caused some conflict between them.
Madison curled her lip.
"I would not call it bullying."
"But I just feel... that house, every time I go back, it makes my skin crawl."
"How so?" Wiona asked.
"Every time my mom asks me to come home for dinner, the atmosphere is incredibly strange."
"Mom has definitely grown a backbone, but Dad has turned into a bitter man. He picks fights over nothing, slamming doors and throwing things."
"Mom either pretends not to hear him, or she just slaps him right across the face!"
Wiona's eyes widened in shock, her mouth dropping open.
Jasmine?
Slapping Cole?
Was that for real?
Could someone with such a fragile, tearful personality actually slap someone?
Even though Wiona had sensed Jasmine wanting to stand up for herself before, this was an earth shattering transformation.
"Has she been possessed by an alien?"
