“Lady Ivy, tell Bram that hilarious thing you were just telling me," Emmett says. I could kill him. "Um-" I rack my brain for anything clever I've ever said. "Shrimps' hearts are in their heads," I stammer. "What?" Bram says at the same time that Emmett says "What?" even louder. "Uh, shrimps' hearts-" "No, we heard you," Emmett says. "Are you . . . fond of shrimp?" Bram asks. "Not particularly." "Oh," Bram says while Emmett stands behind him, looking at me wide-eyed and horrified. "I'll go now." I turn and walk in the opposite direction. "Wai, no, the other hilarious thing!" Emmett calls, and I run, not toward the center of the maze, but to hide from him.”
