In the midst of this charged moment, an innocent child's voice rang out, startling them both. “Angel Sister, what are you doing? Your face is so red! Are you feverish?” Loraine felt as though she had been doused with cold water, stiffening as she spotted several little faces peeking from a nearby classroom, their eyes wide with curiosity.

With a sudden sense of urgency, she pulled away from Marco’s embrace, her face flaming.

Marco coughed lightly, trying to regain his composure. He spoke with feigned sternness.

“We were playing a gthat only adults can play.” Loraine’s scalp tingled with anxiety. The Last thing she wanted was for Eloise to think she was a bad influence on the children!

Without another word, she turned and made her way back to her room.

Marco smiled, raising a finger to his lips in a gesture for the children to keep their secret, then followed Loraine at a more leisurely pace.

He resisted the urge to tease her, recognizing that her embarrassment was genuine.

She yelled, “Mom, how could you? Weren't you going to helpstand up for myself? Weren't you going to shieldfrom the villagers’ ridicule? But as soon as you saw Loraine, you turned tail like a frightened mouse!” Zaria, seated on the sofa, looked gravely serious and made no move to calm her daughter's outburst. Her hands wrung together in agitation.

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine outside interrupted the scene, followed by a middle-aged man entering the house. Catching Judie’s sobs, he demanded, “Judie, what's the matter? Who has dared to upset you?” Judie’s eyes brightened as she rushed towards the man, fully expecting his sympathy. But before she could even speak, Zaria's voice cut through the room, sharp and commanding.

“Judie, to your room, now!”
