Sisters
When all the tears had run dry, they sat side by side on the floor with their backs leaning on the bed, each thinking their own thoughts.
Celine looks at Clara shyly, ‘Uhm... Carmen... Clara, I hope it’s okay that I asked Max what happened to you at the orphanage. I wanted to know because I know you’re not going to tell me how hard it was for you there. I know you’d tell me the fun parts but not the sad parts. He didn’t want to tell me, but I forced him, told him I’ll break up with him if he lied,’ she giggled.
Clara laughed, ‘Good job using your newfound power on my brother. You should use it more often because he can be very bossy.’
‘It's kind of weird that I have you for a sister, and then I have Max for a brother, too. But then again, I'm glad I don’t have to deal with a bitchy sister-in-law.’ She mulls over the fact for a bit.
