The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1911

"Spouting nonsense? Sis, did you forget what you did just last night?" Ivy challenged as she brandished a USB drive like a smoking gun. "It's okay if you've forgotten; I've got the evidence! Dare to let everyone have a look?"

This was the first time in years that Ivy stood up to her sister Clara with such fiery defiance, and it caught Clara off-guard, her face a mask of shock.

Perhaps it was the knowledge that she had a place to go for the next year that emboldened Ivy, lessening her fear of being kicked out of her family household.
