"Alright," Chloe said, hugging the teddy bear tighter, "haunted house next. I'm ready to watch Mia cry."
"I don't cry," Mia said firmly, though her voice was a little too sharp.
"Oh, you will," Remi teased, bouncing on her heels. "I heard this place has motion sensors. People jump out at you when you least expect it!"
Mia froze mid-step. "People… jump out?"
Yohan chuckled, slipping his hands in his pockets. "Don't worry, Mia. I'll be right next to you the whole time."
"Great," she muttered. "You'll be screaming louder than me."
"That's a lie," Chloe said with a smirk. "The only one who'll scream louder than you is Remi."
"Hey!" Remi puffed her cheeks, then immediately lost her serious act when the eerie green glow of the haunted house sign came into view. The building loomed ahead, covered in fake cobwebs and plastic gargoyles that watched over the entrance.
