Chapter 15: Reward
Wesley and Gabe stared at the shattered mop handle between them.
A beat of silence passed.

Wesley glanced at the jagged splinters of wood in his hand, then shook his head, chest rising and falling. "No."
Gabe’s brows furrowed. "No?"
Wesley looked at him, eyes burning with something deeper than pride. "I mean... Let’s go again!"
In front of him, invisible to all but him alone, a window flickered open.
Ding!
