The Good Sister

Reyona heard Toria’s voice from outside.

Even before her sister burst through the door like a whirlwind, she had already raised her head from what she was working on.

She was tapping her pen against the file with a smile on her face when Toria entered with each of her hands holding a shopping bag.

She blew Charlotte a kiss as the latter came to close the door behind her.

Then she posed and declared.

“Admit it. I am the best thing that ever happened to you.”

“Oh yeah? How did you figure that out?” Reyona asked with a shake of her head.

Toria tossed “What would you have done without me?”

Reyona angled her head to one side as if she were really giving it a good thought. Then she said, “For starters, my ears would not be bleeding out right now. I would be in the middle of my work without stress. Oh, rapture!” she crooned.

Toria narrowed her eyes at Reyona, then she said, “I will pretend not to hear that. Which is lucky for you because I am here for moral support?”
