Chapter 422 Lori's Wonder:>43

• Bella stood there, mouth opening and closing and saying nothing. Lori slid her arm into mine and stared interestedly at Bella, a little like a scientist watching a three-legged chicken. Bella tried to stare her down, but Lori could face a charging rhino with a slightly raised eyebrow, and Bella soon looked away in confusion.
• I'd had enough by now; after the fun the previous night, and the shock of seeing ourselves plastered all over the tabloids this morning, the last thing I wanted for Lori right now was for her to be exposed to this poisonous old baggage, so I pointed at the gate, barring her way in case she tried to speak to Lori or stand her ground.
• "I asked you to leave, Bella, now I'm telling you; get out, and don't come back; you have no business here, nothing here belongs to you, and I don't want you on my property again; if I see or hear of you coming here again, I'll have you arrested for trespass."
