Alice exploded inside me. “Is Alan blind or something?! Didn’t he see Michelle jump in herself? And those idiots-always stirring drama! Hurry up and set things straight!”

I clenched my fists, tuning out all the chatter around me. I kept my voice calm and looked straight at Hugh. “I didn’t push her. She jumped in on her own.”

Alan lost it instantly. “Amanda, I can’t believe this. You messed up and don’t even have the guts to admit it.”

“What did I do wrong? Did you actually see me push her?” I shot him a sharp look.

My words left Alan speechless.

He’d only been standing at a distance. He didn’t hear what was said or see who moved first. All he saw was Michelle in the water with me nearby. Since she was crying and claiming I pushed her, he assumed I was guilty.

Hugh ignored Alan and turned to Michelle, keeping his voice steady. “Michelle, tell me what really happened.”

She lowered her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Hugh, I’m fine. It’s my fault … Don’t blame Amanda. I’m sure she didn’t mean it.”

If I weren’t involved, her crying might have made me feel bad.

But I caught her hand by her side, fingers clenched tight. She was panicking. Even though she kept saying I wasn’t at fault, every word basically put me on the spot.

She was good at it.

“So, you’re saying Amanda pushed you?” Hugh asked softly, giving her a chance to clarify.

Michelle didn’t speak. She just nodded slightly.

I was about to walk away, not wanting to deal with people who couldn’t tell right from wrong. I missed my Glacier Pack more than ever.

Just as I stepped back, Hugh said, “Since that’s what you’re saying, I have to defend you. But before we decide anything, we need to figure out exactly what happened.”

“Grandpa, Michelle already said it. Why do you-” Alan started, then stopped.

“Sorry for everyone having to watch this little fight. Kids’ quarrels, nothing serious. But I want everyone here to see the surveillance. If Amanda really did it, I’ll handle it fairly and make sure the victim gets justice.”

“Surveillance?” Michelle’s voice trembled. “Hugh, that’s not needed. I really don’t blame Amanda. No need to go through all that … ”

“Why not?” Hugh’s tone didn’t change. “Whether we get along or not, the truth matters. We can’t let a kid be falsely accused, and we can’t let anyone think they can get away with it.”

He paused, then added, “The backyard has night-vision crystal screens. They record everything-even the smallest movement. We’ll know exactly what happened.”

Hearing that, I felt something strange inside, like a wave of comfort I hadn’t expected.

Alice shouted excitedly, “Amanda! That just felt so reassuring! Being trusted is as important as friendship or love for keeping your wolf spirit steady!”
