"Ariadne? Who's that?" he asked before gulping down the potion. Hmmm, minty. He guessed that whoever that was...they were object of her interrogation.
Well, that was that. The potion had been taken, and now, Alex had to tell the truth. Or, he would have to if the potion was actually brewed correctly. Psh. Who was she kidding? She was amazing at this. It was
definitely brewed correctly.
"She's my baby sister," Sierra asked.
"Mom and Dad had a baby on Christmas day." Which would make the baby only what? A few weeks old? Barely at a month.
"Alex?" she asked. ...and here was the moment when he had to tell the truth.
"How do you really feel about what happened when we were first years? About Dad and Bella's divorce? My adoption? Bella's disappearance? You having a different dad?" The whole nine yards. What had he been thinking all these years?
