Alexa still refuses to say

“I can’t,” Alexa sobbed. “I can’t say it.”

“Then I’m afraid you have left me ****,” Joy said as she pulled out her phone she dialed a number and said. “Hello, yes I’d like you to come over to Alexa’s house. No everything’s fine. I just wanted to invite you over. I’m sure Alexa would appreciate your presence. Feel free to invite others over too. Great, I’ll see you soon. Bye.”

Alexa squirmed at the wonder of who Joy called. “Please,” Alexa sobbed. “No more. I just can’t say it. It’s too embarrassing.”

“If you don’t say it, this will only continue to get worse,” Joy said.

“I...”Alexa sobbed. “I can’t.”

“I think I know what you need then,” Joy said.

Alexa squirmed and squirmed. “I...”

“Just tell me the truth and this all stops. If not, well... I’ll do something you’re really not going to like,” Joy said.
