Briana was shaking violently, and her voice trembling. She had been scared of her brother before, but
never as scared as she was now. This fear was deep–seated She couldn’t hide it, and she definitely
wasnt acting
Cornela held Briana, sometimes ruffling her hair, sometimes patting her back gently, “Bri, can you tell
me why you’re suddenly so scared of your brother today?”

own ways to get Briana to wash her face. “Bri, if this paint stays on your face too long it damage your
skin. Your skin is delicate and more prone to allergies. For the sake of your skin, for the sake of staying
a beautiful little princess, go wash your face, okay?”
“Okay, but Cornelia, you have to stay with me “Briana held onto Cornelia’s sleeve as if she was afraid
she would leave.
“Okay, I’ll stay with you “Cornelia accompanied Briana to the bathroom. She took a cotton pad, wet it
with makeup remover, and helped Briana remove her makeup.
