Lemira's gaze was cold, "She started it, I'm just returning the favor."

Evelina's voice was shaky with sobs, "I-I didn't mean it like that, you misunderstood."

Alaric's temper, barely contained, flared up again, "Lemira, look at what you've turned into. Weren't you with the school doctor last night? That's the truth!"
