their differences. She strained from the counter, trying to eavesdrop, but they were speaking in hushed tones. Several times she saw Travis slam his fist on the table and several times she saw Dario lower his head in submission and nod in agreement.
She eventually lost track of their conversation as the after school crowd began pouring in. Pampered mom after pampered mom came through buying chips and a soda. Right after they were finished Billy showed up with the girls.
“Hi Aunt Paige,” Lyric said, looking over the counter and smiling. “I missed you yesterday.”
“I missed you more,” Paige said. “It was quite the adventure.”
“That’s what I heard!” she said, laughing.
She was two years younger than her sister, but she had filled her body out more. Many people mistook Lyric for the older child, a fact that drove Lily insane.
“Did you have fun playing with your friends?” she asked.
“I guess,” she said. “It smells funny over there. They’re a big family and it’s kind of weird, but the house is so big!”
“I know, I’ve picked you up from there before,” Paige said. The Lockharts lived outside of town, farther out than Dario in an old plantation-style mansion. It was strange though, there were no plantations in Oklahoma- they must have just enjoyed the style.
“Yeah daddy let me stay the night there last night,” she said. “I woke up and went to school with Janie, but none of her clothes fit. I had to wear what I wore yesterday.”
“That’s not good,” Paige said.
“Dad’s not really happy about it,” Lyric said.
“I just don’t like those people,” Billy said, walking up to the counter with a case of coke in hand. “We have to get going girls. How are things up here?”
“It’s a carbon copy of every Monday,” she answered.
“Figured as much,” he said. “I’ll see you later little sister.”
“Bye girls,” Paige said, blowing kisses at her nieces.
“Bye Aunt Paige!” they both called, blowing kisses back on their way out.
Seeing those little girls always brought a smile to Paige’s face: she loved them more than she loved herself.
She looked over to the wolves to see if their discussion was still heated. Instead they were both staring at her, an expression of absolute anger on their faces.
“What?” she asked. It looked like they were both going to jump up and attack her at any moment.
“Rats,” Travis growled. “I smell rats.”
“Me too,” Dario said, his expression just as pissed off as Travis’.
“Where?” Paige asked. She felt butterflies gathering in her stomach, were they here?
“Your niece,” Travis said, standing up and walking to the counter. “I smelled them on your niece.”
