Her phone rang again. โWhat?โ she snapped as she answered it. Myrnin, of course. โAre you on your way?โ โNo!โ โClaire, there are things to do.โ โHere, too,โ she said. โAnd Iโm staying here, believe me.โ Myrnin was silent for a beat, and then he said, โBob would be very disappointed in you.โ โBob the spider?โ โHe looks at you like a mother, you know. Iโm surprised at your lack of work ethic. Think of the example you set forโโ She hung up on him and turned the phone on vibrate and relaxed in Shaneโs arms.

The fourth one... well, the fourth one was just plain weird.
