Oliver bursts through the door. 76. Harper doesn’t notice him; she’s too busy parading around with a purse slung over her shoulder, makeup perfectly done, high heels clicking on the floor. 77. “If that little brat tries to touch my stuff, he’ll be grounded for a week!” Harper snaps, not seeing her brother’s translucent figure, and returns to practicing her runway walk. 78.
