A Glimmer in the Dark Chapter 03

“Emily Reed, I need to ask you for a favor,” I said. Standing in front of her, I thought the word ‘beg‘ felt painfully awkward. 

The second Emily saw me, she instinctively stepped back, 

“Who asks for a favor while holding a broom? Claire Evans, if you knock out one more of my teeth, I won’t even be able to eat,” Emily cried. 

Fair point. The tooth I knocked out yesterday had been her front tooth. 

When I saw the fear in her eyes, I tossed the broom to the ground. 

“You’re on cleaning duty today. I just wanted to help. that’s all,” I said.
