"Actually," Megan suddenly said, stopping them as Rose was about to drag Talia away. "As you're here, do you think you could do me a favour?"
Talia stood firm, grinning as she felt Rose trying to pull her away. "Of course," she said beaming at her sister, "What did you need?"
"Mom called me twenty minutes ago," Megan explained. "She wanted me to pick up Simon from school, but I'm gonna be working late. If I lend you the car, could you swing by school and pick him up on your way home?"
Rose balked at the idea, definitely not wanting to go back to her old school while dressed like this. Then again, at least if they were borrowing Megan's car it would mean that she didn't have to walk all the way home dressed like this.
It took her a moment to realise that she was powerless in this situation. Just as she had been for the past several hours, Talia had complete control. If she didn't, she wouldn't be standing here dressed like this.
Slowly she turned to look at Talia, waiting for her decision.
