Unfortunately, after all this time, the "pirated Golden Lotus" remained intact, always grinning foolishly.
Golden Lotus declared that it was being mocked and absolutely wouldn't stand for such an insult!
It announced that it was going to run away from home! Seriously!
Unless Hannah threw the imitation away herself.
Then...
Then Hannah packed up Golden Lotus's belongings and showed it the door.
It didn't come back yesterday, and still hasn't returned today.
Hannah set aside the stuffed toy she had been holding in her arms, then leaned in herself, tilting her head and snuggling into Arnold's embrace, "Didn't you say it was a birthday party before?"
Arnold hugged her, his hand gently pinching her reddened cheek, and whispered, "How did you know that."
Hannah covered her face to stop him from pinching, "Louis sent me an invitation."
After she spoke, Arnold's eyes darkened a shade.
Like a fierce beast about to bare its fangs.
