Knowing the Murderer

[Ellie's P.O.V.]

Rowling covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laugh before whispering into my ear. "She saw Kirk's car from upstairs just now so she waited for you, hoping to catch a glimpse of him. She's satisfied now, which explains why she's smiling like an idiot."

"Really? If I had known earlier, I would have asked Kirk to stay for dinner. Then wouldn't Abby be so happy that she couldn't sleep?" I deliberately spoke loudly as I laughed and kept glancing at the kitchen. Soon, there was a loud sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen. I laughed even more unscrupulously.

Rowling also laughed along. However, the commotion in the kitchen only grew louder and we quickly stopped laughing. I smiled at Rowling and softly said, "A young girl is in love."

"Rogue she-wolf, I heard everything. If you dare say one more word, you won't have a share of tonight's dinner!" Abby's threatening voice came from the kitchen. She sounded exasperated.
