Scarlett watched him leave completely after dinner was over. Getting back into the house in October, Belly and Mia were waiting in the living room. Scarlett shook her head and ignored them as she found her way to the stairs. She yawned and stretched when she reached her room, then jumped onto her bed and closed her eyes.

The operation to determine whether October and David were dating was scheduled for that day. Scarlett buttoned her shirt as she stood in front of the mirror. She regarded her long hair and pondered whether she ought to dye it red. That red hair made her look fearless and powerful in a way. It also reminded her of her dad.
