Chapter 28 stay safe

Walking to Noah’s side I hide behind him trying not to show my panicked face with the fear of getting caught.

As Noah turned his suspicious gaze towards me, I lower my head so that our eyes wouldn’t meet. Regretting the thing that I had done, I thought it was better to surrender than to be found out.

So mustering my courage, I stepped out and stammered, “I… I am..” but before I could complete, suddenly Noah grasped my hand and interrupted, “I am so sorry about that, Keri. I was just trying to prank her but you ended up like that. I should have thought of other people living around here. Heartful of apology.”

Even though she didn’t look fine, Keri took a deep breath and replied, “It’s alright. I will clean it up.”

She had just started to clean the counter when suddenly, Murphy appeared with the bags in his hands and in the tone filled with astonishment questioned, “What the heck are you doing? Why are you bathing with flour?”
