“Miss Quinn?” I startle at Mrs Stone’s voice and my cheeks feel on fire. “Are you all right?” Mrs Stone’s voice sounds from above me. “What?” “You look flushed. Do you need medical care?” “I’m fine.” I grip my pencil tighter, wishing the earth would open up and swallow me. When she leaves, a low gravelly voice murmurs, “Certain memories coming back to you?” “Shut up,” I hiss. I don’t have to look behind me to see Aiden’s smug grin.
