Chapter 26

Allison put everything she had into a slap that landed squarely on Shawn's face.

Shawn and Kate just stood there, stunned.

"Get out!" Allison yelled at Shawn, her voice seething with anger. "This is none of your business! Who do you think you are, forgiving her on my behalf?"

Kate was shocked to see Shawn get slapped. She shoved Shawn aside, her anger bubbling over as she squared up to Allison. "Who do you think you are? How could you hit Shawn?"

"Smack!" Another slap rang out.

"You get out too!"
