Then she went back to the garden, where Delia was waiting with the particular expression of a woman who had things to say and had been saving them up very responsibly. "Don't," Ivory said. "I'm not saying anything." "You're vibrating." "I'm cold. It's February." Delia pressed a cup into her hands. "Drink this. Then I'm going to say one thing and then I'll stop." "One thing."

After contemplating for a moment, they decided that Leo should sing for Delia. "No, no, no. I don't sing." He was quick to disagree. "Unfortunately the punishments can't be negotiated." Ellie said, almost laughing. "Yes, Leo sing for us." Calvin said with a chuckle. Leo cleared his throat and faced Delia. "This is so going to be awkward." he said and Delia laughed.

She moaned, smacking her face with both of her hands. "You can," Gwen replied immediately, encouragingly. "You're doing so well for somebody who's never learned a music instrument." "What's that?"

In the private room, James asked, “What happened? How did you end up singing at a bar?” Delilah was still wearing James’ jacket. Taking a sip of a glass of warm water, she said, “My family went bankrupt. My stepfather disappeared without a trace, leaving my mother with a pile of debt.
