This bitch is testing me... Although Luis had been drinking, his mind remained sharp.
Hesitation or offering an explanation now would surely mean falling into her trap. A tone of impatience was the only correct response.
Sure enough, it took Nancy a long while to reply, "Watch your language..."
Luis shot back directly, "What's unclean about it? Is anything I said as ridiculous as your accusation?"
Nancy seemed to have cooled down and no longer wanted to argue. Her message came through politely, "Can you come to little sister's room? I'd like to talk to you. Please don't let Mother know."
"Don't let Mother know?? Big sister, it's the middle of the night. If the two of us are in a room together and someone sees us, no amount of explaining would clear our names, okay?"
"Can't whatever it is wait until tomorrow? Look how late it is already."
