Wow, I am useless.

"I changed my mind. Let's just go to Ray's oath ceremony."

Penny stared at her Second Brother's serious face, her expression twisting a little.

Was there anywhere else Hugo could think of? Or did he really only have two options for tonight?

"Senior Brother, don't be like that." Ginnie pulled Penny's arm closer to her. "Don't worry. If you're worried about these guys, they won't try to hit on her — I promise."

Hugo slowly narrowed his eyes at Ginnie. "Really?"

"Really." Her lips stretched from ear to ear before she moved her eyes to the group. A glint shone on the side of her tooth as her eyes lit up. "Hey, don't even dream of making my Penny uncomfortable! Otherwise… you're dead."

Ginnie's tone sounded dangerous and deadly at the end of her remarks, making Penny glance at her and the team. Seeing that the men cleared their throats and avoided Ginnie's face, Penny couldn't help but chuckle at her friend.
