Between hushed Whispers

Kendra shook her head and continued to paint her mermaid. "Kendra, please?" She looked back and saw that William had the most adorable eyes displayed for the world to see. "No," Kendra mouthed. He shrugged his shoulders, not sure why it was a big deal. She frowned rather dramatically and pointed at Ms.Rachael, then her painting. Finally realizing her hesitation, William raised 10 fingers up, saying it will only take 10 minutes. "No!" I mouthed. "Please!" He said while pleading with his hands. Not wanting to draw any attention, Kendra got up and said, "Ms.Rachael, may I go to the lady's room please?" "You may." Setting aside her paintbrush and mixing pad, she tore off her apron and walked toward the door. "What!" Being the taking-yourself-too-seriously type, William grabbed her hand and walked down the hall to avoid any confrontation. When he was satisfied with the distance, he closed the space between himself and Kendra.
