Did Zoe realize why she was being kept?

She never wanted to play. She kept trying to run away from home. She stole food from the fridge after skipping dinner and making Grandma upset. She was a bad big kid.

A bad big sister.

It was fun to see her pay - run from Evie's friends, get smacked by Grandpa. To giggle "don't make me kill you!" in her ear and stop her dead frozen down the hall. Evie could! Had Zoe forgotten that, too?

Silly big girl. Evie smirked.

Every toy set needs a "bad guy".

Eveline's family needed Zoe.
