"You ever notice how… weird she is sometimes?"
Athena blinked. "Weird? Gina? No she is not. She's just… responsible."
"No, not that." Sarah shook her head, her voice a whisper. "It's like she's always on edge, watching everything you do. Like she's… keeping track of you."
Athena's brows knit together. "What are you talking about?"
Sarah bit her lip, hesitating. Then she blurted, "Like with Dr. Gary yesterday. I only teased you a little about blushing but Gina scolded me for it. Told me not to encourage you. As if she's trying to stop you from even looking at him."
Athena's stomach twisted. She didn't know whether to laugh it off or feel unsettled. Gina had been nothing but loyal and protective… but Sarah's words planted a splinter in her thoughts.
