The silence which accompanied Ethan words was almost deafening, as everyone held their breaths while staring at him in shock. The only sounds audible, were the crackling of the fire and the occasional snap of a twig in the woods nearby.
"Hick!" An hicuppy sound from Shikera, broke the silence.
"Why do you look so shocked?" Ethan deadpanned, his face void of any emotion as if he had simply asked Shikera to pass him the water jug.
Seeing that no one answered him, he continued, "I remember clearly that no rule was set before we started the game. And besides, we are all adults here..."
"Still..." Enoch had interrupted his older brother before he could stop himself. He didn't know his brother was this brazen and shameless.
All the phones pinged at once, to alert everyone that Shikera had just sent a message to the group.
"What is the penalty if I don't agree?"
