Page 23 - Mirror Terror meets Gardenella

Chapter 6
The next morning, Gardenella awoke from a lengthy beauty sleep while Mirror Terror remained on her floor, leaned up against the wall.
“Hey! Duppy Boy!”, she shouted across the room.
Slowly and reluctantly, he uncovered his face, blinked, closed his eyes and blinked again while streaks of sunlight that shone through the window penetrated him.
“You’re still here? “, she said in disbelief.
“Something tells me I should stay”, he said, thinking of the purple orchid.
“Well I’m sure you don’t mind a likkle trip to my garden”, she said as she pointed outside.
She happily skipped and grinned, head high, chin out and her arms moving like she was conducting the clouds above, as she led him to her well-kept and most cherished garden.
“Try not to scare the pickneys outside”, she giggled.
