It was already 9:27 by the time Holly Winslow got off the bus. Anna Willow and Iris Kensington were already waiting at the bus stop. The moment they saw her, they lunged forward.
"Holly."
"Holly."
Holly Winslow pretended she couldn't breathe, letting her head loll onto Iris Kensington's shoulder. "You're strangling me."
Anna Willow and Iris Kensington burst out laughing, winking at each other. Anna's eyes darted around as she said, "Ellie, have you seen *Sleeping Beauty*? The sleeping princess needs a kiss from a prince to wake up."
"You should call that handsome cousin of hers and tell him to come play hero and save the damsel in distress."
Iris Kensington pulled out her phone, unable to suppress her grin. "Oh, so Holly wants a kiss from her handsome cousin. I'll call him right now."
Holly Winslow's eyes snapped open. She pinched both of them. "You're so dirty-minded."
