She leaned ahead and flipped open the inexperienced folder, shuffling by way of the paperwork and pulling out the unique contract Clover had signed.
“I will be frank, what you probably did was extremely hurtful. Not solely to Aria however to each considered one of us near her. The largest shock is that this was additionally extraordinarily out of character for you, a pony so filled with kindness and smiles. Now that you’ve had a while to consider it, what do you suppose I need to hear from you?” Hayley requested, elevating a well-plucked eyebrow at Clover.
~There’s lots I need to say..~
