Ethan Carter narrowed his eyes dangerously. "What about him?"

"I’m not sure exactly what happened," Adelina said, her expression tense. "When I got there, I just saw Olivia give him a shove from across the room. Watch out—he’s probably still bothering her."

Fannie Parker laughed, "I want to learn too!"

Helen raised her hand, "Count me in!"
