72 Little Brother

As Beauty and Clarence stood outside the Margherita's backdoor, Giorgio's brilliant smile greeted them. He pulled Beauty inside and closed the door forgetting about Clarence who was still standing outside. The latter's face twisted, "Was that intentional or just me?"

To Clarence delight, Beauty opened the door for him and made him relaxed and satisfied. The little boy said, "Sorry, I forgot," as he passed by.

Clarence was somewhat taken aback, he was being absurd. It was not purposely done. Why was he overthinking against a child?

Giorgio ran to Beauty's side and held her hand same way Clarence held her yesterday and ran toward his father's side. Clarence was about to react but Beauty raised her hand, "let him be, he's just a child." Then she sent a flying kiss to him of which he acted catching and expressively smooched the imaginary kiss to his lips.
