Susanna: "…Wait, you mean I can’t learn this?"
But Hull’s got some serious skills, right?
She’d seen him in action herself.
Stella: "Look, maybe you should just train with my sister’s crew for a while. I promise, one month with them and you’ll be a whole new woman."
Susanna: "Your sister?"
"Yeah, I only trained for a month myself, and you’ve totally got it in you."
A month? To end up with moves like Stella’s?
How brutal would that be? Would she have to train day and night, no breaks?
Susanna: "Uh…"
"Susie, you know things are gonna get dangerous for you soon. You have to be ready."
Susanna had been about to chicken out, honestly. All she really wanted was to learn to shoot and run fast.
But after hearing Stella say that, she just didn’t have the heart to back down.
Her biggest goal was to stop being a burden to her mom, after all.
"Alright. I’ll do it."
Stella: "Great, it’s settled."
Once Susanna agreed, Stella didn’t waste a second. She hung up and immediately called Yvonne.
As soon as the call connected, Yvonne picked up, sounding totally out of breath. "Star?"
"Hey, Sis, where are you?"
"Scotland. I’ll bring you something back—these Scottish shortbreads are to die for."
Stella: "Wait, you’re in Scotland already?"
That was fast!
But then again, Yvonne was always flying off somewhere at the drop of a hat.
"Yeah, Skye’s here too. Anyway, why’d you call? Is Ronald giving you a hard time again? Listen, if Mom’s mad at you, I can help, but if it’s Ronald, you’re on your own."
Stella: "…"
See? Everybody’s got someone they’re scared of.
In Yvonne’s case, it was definitely Ronald. Stella used to be nervous around him herself.
