Chapter 6

A Shopper’s Tale

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Go away, Ellie snapped, twisting her head so her ears were covered by her comforter.

“ELLIE!” someone yelled from outside.

No.

“ELIZABETH!”

No, Ellie groaned. More. Sleep.

Ellie felt the bed underneath her shift and frowned. Why won’t they let me sleep? I just got into bed!

Ellie tried to recall her dream and slip and back into it. A loud click disrupted her effort and brought her closer to awareness.

“What the hell are you guys doing?” Ellie heard Archer ask in a rough voice.

“Elizabeth Wolfe!” A different voice cried angrily.

With great effort, Ellie pulled her lids apart from one another. She raised her face off of her pillow and squinted—blisteringly bright sunlight filtered in through the room’s enormous glass wall.

“You are, like, super late,” the voice said. This time, Ellie recognized it.

It’s Regina! Or Morgana!

Ellie sat upright, pulling a wayward strand of black hair away from her face. Regina and Morgana stood by side, dressed impeccably from head to toe. They wore identical outfits today; a navy skirt with a white bralette and a navy blazer. It made their resemblance to each other all the more dizzying.

“Hey guys,” Ellie grunted. Her voice came out hoarse, she cleared her throat to fix it. “What’s up?”

“What’s up is that we’re super late for our day out,” Morgana said. Or is that Regina?

“What time is it?” Ellie asked.

“It’s two in the afternoon!” One of the twins cried. “Constance is ready and waiting for us and you’re the only one left. Come on!”

“Okay, okay, I’m getting up,” Ellie said groggily. Two in the afternoon? Damn. I could swear I just fell asleep a minute ago.

It took Ellie twenty minutes to get ready. She nearly fell asleep on the toilet once, but her foot slipped on the wet tiles and she woke up with a jerk. Sighing, Ellie slipped into a pair of white shorts and a flowy orange blouse that showed off her collar bones. She tied her hair up into a high bun and looked into the mirror. Today was going to be a tiring day—she could already feel it.

When she stepped out of the bathroom, the twins were waiting by the door, while Archer had crawled back into bed, wrapped up in the comforter.

“Amazing, you’re ready!” One of them said with a clap of her hands. “Niles has got your breakfast in the car, so let’s go!”

“Alrighty,” Ellie said, slightly dazed.

“Uncle wants to know when you’ll be ready to head out for golf, Archer,” one of the girls said to him as she stepped out of the door. Archer raised one muscular arm and waved them off, saying nothing in response.

“Could I have gotten away with that response?” Ellie asked the girls.

“No chance,” they said in unison. One of them came by to throw an arm around Ellie. “Today’s our chance to get to know you without Archer hanging around like a weirdo.”

“You know it’s a really bad day for you guys to wear matching attires,” Ellie told them. “I can’t tell you two apart for shit.
