Hank shot me a glance filled with panic and quickly nodded in agreement.

The others all kept their heads down, too afraid to utter a word.

Melody, crying in pain and frustration, shoved Hank away and managed to take a few steps before collapsing to the floor again.

Melody bit her lip in anger and remained silent.

“Phoebe, it wasn’t you. Melody fell on her own. You didn’t push her,” Dexter quickly interjected. “You’re exhausted. Go get some rest.”

“But I clearly… I did push her…” I looked at Melody. “I pushed you, didn’t I?”

Dexter frowned, warningly glancing at Melody.
