Lulu brought out some cloud cakes. It was raining outside, and her shoes were soaked. As she walked across the cloud–patterned stone floor, several clear footprints were left behind.

There’s no need to bring my mother into this.” Heather’s expression was conflicted. “You say you haven’t given it a second thought, but do you know that because of you, our family was placed under house arrest for a month?
