I looked at her school records and suess, all As and A+s I went back years since her extracurriculars were shabby and sahere she’d given up dance and gyer Maybe she outgrew them; heaven knows the twins pick up and drop shit like a hot potato

But surely she knows that rades but also to extra curriculum I didn’t coes I wanted I didn’t tell the that I was up to though they will be needed for this, but since they , I don’t see the a problem with my plans

I vaguely questioned why I was getting involved but squashed it because my mind was alreadyrun, either way, andat me to stick etting so close to D-day So me There’s sonore it

That night she stayed on my mind until I woke restless the next day First order of business after showering and getting ready for school was hunting down my sisters to let them in on the plan I’d already done the hard part now they were up at-bat “Anna, where’s Rosa?”
