Recalling (1)

On hearing that Tyra had told Susan she had said the exact words to her, Alicia looked at Susan in confusion. What was happening? Had she remembered it wrongly?

"She told you I said that?" Alicia asked with a confused frown, and Susan pressed her lips together when Harold shot her a glare.

Seeing that Susan was not going to say anything else because she feared Harold, Alicia rose from there and walked slowly to where Harold was. When she noticed he was standing up too, she shook her head, telling him to remain there.

Harold could do nothing but look at her skeptically as she tried to ignore the faint pain under her feet and walk toward him.

When she got to where he was, she sat down on the rock beside him and began to speak slowly, "Can you at least fill me in on my day? Everything I did during the day before that night?" She asked hopefully, and Harold's brows drew together in concern.
