Ezra just blinked at his older sister.
Do you think my breath stinks, Bonita uttered with a strain.
Ezra just looked puzzled, searching his brain.

Ezra thought they were the whitest teeth he’s ever seen.
Why won’t you answer me, Bonita said with a shriek.
Ezra just sat there, for he could not speak.
