The rain was pouring down, hitting the ground with every drop. A sudden clap of thunder made Georgia shriek, her hands instinctively clutching at Shelia.

The disgusting smell of dog poop still clung to her, and Shelia's expression twisted in disgust. With a push, Shelia pushed Georgia away.

Caden laughed softly. “Why are you screaming, Georgia? Alicia is the one in trouble. “That thunder sounds like nature is giving her a warning.”
