“Fine…â€? I pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to her. “Please don’t tell, Mimi. I haven’t done anything to you.â€?
“You were just caught red handed stealing my phone. You haven’t done anything?â€? But she sighed and looked over her shoulder, as if mom might be behind her. “But I remember fifteen, Ell… so… I guess you can go.â€?
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!â€? I hugged her then dashed out the door, calling back over my shoulder, “Love ya sis!â€?
