QUESTION MARK

"Sit down!" Lexi ordered Emily. The tone of Lexi's voice made it evident that she had Emily right where she wanted her. Instead of heeding Lexi's demands, Emily simply stood in front of her, staring her down and fighting both her body and her mind to either obey or not obey.

Being a Sorrentino was slowly teaching Emily how to be bold and brave, even though she was clearly cornered. Seeing Emily stand in front of her, staring her down, only agitated Lexi more because she knew very well that she had the upper hand on Emily.

"I said, sit down!" Lexi shouted, slamming her hand onto the dinner table. Lexi was shocked at Emily's ability to remain calm. Emily resorted to flashing a smile in Lexi's direction, and then she pulled out the chair and sat down.
