... sorry?"

She answered only with a long, tight hug.

Fortunately, the rest of the walk home wasn't long. Penny's heart was feeling ready to burst when they arrived, even as concern for Jan once again bubbled up when they opened the door to find her father looking gravely up at her from the couch.

"Joe, may I please have a word with Penny?" he asked.

"Yes, of course," Joe said. "I'll be in your room?" he said to Penny.

She nodded and turned her attention to her father. "How's Jan? Did they find what's wrong?"

"They found out all right. She had an overdose of diuretics."

"Diuretics? She didn't say anything to me about being on them."

"She isn't, Penny."

"Oh my God!" Penny remembered the glass of water on the kitchen table.

"Did you think this was a harmless prank, Penelope?" her father growled.

"What?! Dad, I didn't -"

"You're the one who set that glass of water on the table for her, aren't you?"

"No!"

"I asked you before and you didn't say no."

"I shook my head no. You just weren't looking. Besides, why would I do a thing like that?"

"Penny, I know losing your mother was hard on you and Cornelia, but it's not your decision when I'm ready to move on with my life. It's mine."

"I agree!"

"Then why have the two of you been so nasty with her all weekend? And now this?"

"It's not the two of us, Dad! It's her! Not me! Her!"

"Oh, spare me!" Larry said. "I've been listening to that all your lives. If you'd ever just learn to ...

... ignore your sister..."

"Like you're going to ignore what she did to Jan?"

"I didn't ask you to accuse your sister!"

"I didn't ask you to accuse me!" Penny was near tears. "I like Jan! And you know it, or you should! Did you even ask Cornelia if she did it?"

"You're the one who had the kidney problem, you'd have the meds for it."

"That was years ago! And I didn't save any of the meds, you know you're not supposed to do that!"

"Yeah, well, Cornelia says she didn't do it."

"And you believe her?"

"All I know is when you were girls, you always blamed everything on her, Penny."

"It was always true! And you were always a sucker!" Penny felt the tears of rage streaming down her cheeks, but she didn't care.

"All right, enough!" Larry grabbed his car keys up from the kitchen table. "I can't prove it, but I know it was one of you and I know why. I'm going to the hospital to be with Jan, and I'll be expecting a lavish apology for her when we get home tomorrow!"

"Don't count on it!" Penny turned and stormed down the stairs.

Her bedroom door was shut, but she had no doubt Joe had heard everything. When she opened the door, he was standing by her bed with a sympathetic look on his face. "I'm so sorry, Penny," he said as she collapsed in his arms.

"You heard everything, I suppose?" she sobbed.

"Not everything, but enough," Joe said. "And yeah, I know it must've been Corri."

"It was," Penny said. "I don't know where she got whatever she put in that ...
