“‘Sister Regina wants the two of you in her office immediately.’ Lil looked scared and Blue got a sinking feeling in her stomach. They walked down the big stairs slowly, too frightened to say a word to each other, Blue terrified that her friend would blurt out what she had done.
She knocked on the door.
‘Enter.’ Sister Regina was sitting at her desk, a fire blazing in the grate of her study.
‘Do you know why I have called the two of you here tonight?’ she asked.
They both shook their heads.
‘I think you both know why already.’ Her mouth turned up, in a pretend smile, her small teeth like sharp fangs.
Lil gave a gasp.
‘Some thieves broke into my study today.’ The nun raised her voice. ‘Trespassed in my room, and hoped I wouldn’t discover it.’ Blue swallowed hard. Perhaps she was just fishing, trying to push them to tell her something she didn’t really know.
