Glowering at Sadie, he snapped, “If you can’t behave yourself, maybe you should go back to school and learn some decency instead of wasting your days with these misfits.

Taken aback, Sadie looked near tears.
Eliana reached over and tenderly grasped Declan’s hand.
As he turned toward her, she softly murmured, “Sadie’s just a girl, don’t be so harsh.
