“If I were her, I’d stay well away. How shameless can you get, always hovering around Hanley…”

Merry had a sing–song quality, even when she was hurling insults.
The teasers promptly shut their mouths.

Merry looked back, blowing a bubble with her gum, “Arcade.”
Cordelia blinked in surprise.
Merry didn’t return for the rest of the day.
