Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

After spending an hour with the girls, Josh Batton finally ushered them out.

They were very understanding and eventually left.

Once they were gone, the house became quiet instantly.

Annabeth Cates held his hand as they approached Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards, frowning while she spoke. "Dad, Mom, please don't tell anyone that we're coming home next time. Otherwise, It would be troublesome."

Her mother nodded apologetically. "I know. I didn't think the girl who lived across would spill the beans."

Annabeth shook her head helplessly. "You should've thought of that."

Peggy nodded again. "Okay, I won't do it again. I'm sorry."

Josh merely chuckled nonchalantly hearing this. "All right, it's all over now. Stop blaming Mom, Honey. She didn't know this would happen either."

"I'm just pointing it out," his wife argued. "I wasn't blaming her. I just didn't want to cause you any trouble."

She genuinely felt sorry to leave him with such a large crowd to deal with today.
