Annie quickly explained, "It's not like that. I didn't do anything to Noelle. Last time was my fault. I just ran into her by chance and had a brief conversation. She said she wouldn't hold a grudge." Annie bit her lip and gripped the stair railing. "Did something happen? I really didn't do anything to Noelle!"

"Alright, I got it," Cody said, waving his hand dismissively. "I need to go out for a bit. If Mom and Dad ask, just tell them I went out for business."

"Finished with the interview?" Charles' clear voice had a hint of amusement. "Hmm?"

"Be good. You don't have anything to do at home anyway. Come up. I have something nice to show you," Charles coaxed gently.

embarrassed. "I was worried about being seen, so I took a detour and almost got lost!"
