A Show of Loyalty

"Brandon, are you free? Can you come and keep me company?"

"Yes, I can. Are you at home?"

"Yes, I am," Hannah replied, her voice incredibly gentle. Despite Brandon's soft tone, his face remained expressionless.

"I'll be there right away. Wait for me."

Brandon hung up the phone, took a long look at Ella's classroom, and headed straight for the Davis household.

Since that scandal, Hannah rarely went out, even taking a break from school, only occasionally going out to do volunteer work.

She found excuses to decline invitations to classmates' gatherings because they were just waiting to laugh at her.

If she wasn't doing volunteer work, she stayed at home.

But staying at home, apart from surfing the internet, watching TV, movies, and reading novels, became tiresome after a while.
