Sabine

I scream, so startled that it’s impossible to keep in. Astor surges up, startled by my scream, and spins around.

I lunge off the counter, wrapping myself in a towel. My hands are shaking so badly, I almost drop it.

Astor positions himself between Valerie and me, consoling her like a child.

Despite our outbursts, Valerie appears unbothered and doesn't speak. Instead, she backs up on her own accord, her face devoid of emotion.

As Astor ushers her out of the bathroom, Brittney rushes into the hallway, ashen with fear of whatever just happened. She apparently heard our screams.

I dart out of her line of sight, but not before taking one more look at Valerie.

My eyes narrow.

Game. On.
