I bailed the piccolo man out of jail with my dad’s money. The money I needed to pay my way through classes the rest of the year. I went back to the House to find Cookie.
I found Cookie and the clock-face girl on the pier by the House. Cookie had her hand on the clock-face girl’s arm. I had never really given the clock-face girl a second thought after she arrived. Until now.
Was the clock-face girl pretty? Did Cookie think so?
