Did You Kill Her?

"Let her continue deluding herself that she has the upper hand until her sudden fall. That will be a better victory to celebrate, don't you think?" Kathleen said with a cynical glint in her purple orbs.

"You are right, sis. Just that I didn't know my loving sister could be this calculative," Jason teased.

"Seriously! Are you going to start with this again?"

Jason raised his two hands in mock surrender, a frightened look etched on his disarmingly handsome face which elicited a laugh from both Kathleen and Lauren.

"Now that we are outside, can you give the kids a call?" Jason quickly steered the conversation back to the children.

It proved to be the perfect distraction as Kathleen forgot about her anger and asked, "how are they?"

"They blatantly refused to go to school today and insisted that they must speak with you when Mrs Carr told them you later called last night."
