Linda watched them and scoffed. “That’s Nelly Tanner? Hah, if I didn’t have a baby in me now, I’d really want to vent for you!”
“I’m not such a pushover yet!” Cordelia smiled. “Don’t worry. She won’t get to bully me!”
“Right. You have Zephyr with you. Who’d dare bully you?” Linda chuckled as well and suddenly asked thoughtfully, “Does Nelly look like her father?”
“Why the question?”

Linda giggled.
“I shall send you home sooner then. You still have the whole afternoon. Draw to your heart’s content!”

Kelly trembled.
