please just watch your sister. vivienne wasn't asking avery anymore, she was telling them. in that sort of mom-voice kaz didn't want to contest, maybe to placate dad's paranoia about a string of teens that have gone missing recently. she's memorized the teary-eyed pleas of their parents over the rerun CHORUS broadcast, asking for their kids to come home. she clicks the off the television before they pull up the hotline number for anyone with more information.
but the t.v. noise is swiftly replaced with loud complaints that she finds harder to ignore, and kaz shrinks back into the sofa, her knees drawn up to lend a flat surface for her sketchpad. hazy grey eyes find interest in the scribbles on the page โ of some sort of un-human shape among trees.
" do you really have anything better to do? " it's a simple question, as sharp as it is reasonable. the "redacre runaways" are the most interesting thing to happen to this place, and before that, maybe some coyote sightings that put the whole town under curfew. as a safety precaution, warned the mayor.
sometimes, kaz thinks bitterly to herself, she wishes avery would run away, too. or get eaten by coyotes.
a soft thwump as her head falls against the couch backrest, her moody glare drifting out to the boring, nothing-suburbs just beyond the window. " if you don't want to be here, i don't care. " it's as much give as they're going to get, with half-hearted compromise. " i won't tell. but i also won't lie about it. "
