Early the next morning, Natalie was still deep in sleep when her phone started ringing, pulling her awake.

She opened her bleary eyes and glanced outside; the sky was already bright.

A frown creased her face, her delicate, striking features clouded with irritation. She wondered who could be calling so early. Reaching for her phone, she answered, "Hello?"

"Natalie, back then, I thought you'd hurt Mrs. Spencer. I just wanted you to learn a lesson, to be more careful next time. I knew they wouldn't really hurt you."

Hearing this, Natalie felt extremely hurt. 'I've already given up on expecting anything from them; why did I let myself be disappointed again?'
