He’d managed to slip some Hush Slush into Ro’s dinner the night before and wiped out her voice for eight glorious hours.

This is how I smile now!” Keefe tightened his jaw and raised one eyebrow. “I might be willing to believe you,” Elwin told him, “if you weren’t gritting your teeth every time you move.” Not that he cared-he had big plans to trash all of Alvar’s stuff as soon as he was done hiding out there. “Look! I’m all better!” Keefe promised, waving his arms and almost knocking over the ugly lamp on the table next to the bed.
