This is why Phyl was always the lead on things like this. There is no way Pen could have thought of that so quick. And it wasn't like it was something hard to think of. In the area, stopped by. No big. But Penny wouldn't have fumbled over her words, mumbled something that would be an obvious lie, and got Wyatt upset with her.
Although apparently that didn't matter at the moment. Because Christy, for all her inability to control her power, apparently had an inability to control her mouth, too! Penny's jaw dropped to the floor. Of all the things she suspected was wrong with Wyatt, that was definitely not one of them! And Penny could already feel Wyatt getting mad. She actually stepped in front of Christy. Christy was younger, and obviously coerced into doing this. She didn't deserve Wyatt to get mad at her over it.
Isabella, though, had been standing at the door and her fury was probably double what Wyatt's was. She didn't understand that his family was as close as they were. The fact that they would come here just for that... well, her hormones were unbalanced enough as it was. "Wyatt, what the hell is going on?!" She could guess, but she probably wouldn't hit it right on the nose. At the moment she just wanted to throw things. Or snatch up her wand. Although that was pretty fucking fruitless considering the unborn spawn liked to play fireworks and flowers with Bella's magic at the moment.
