Morwenna froze in her tracks.

"Stuart's birthday?" she asked.

"Yeah, every year on Mr. Hetfield's birthday, all the prominent figures of Rosefrost Hollow gather. I've heard it's quite the event. I'd love to see it myself..."

The older sister quietly tugged at her sibling's shirt to get her to stop talking so much.

The younger sister was stunned, "But I already mentioned it. What do we do now?"

"Just drop it!"
