~CAKE~
Brunch was supposed to be simple. It never is when Elianna’s involved.
My mum took one look at Sienna and decided she liked her instantly. Not cautiously, instantly!! A like that could form an alliance.
“Oh, you’re lovely,” my mum said after five minutes. “You sit properly, and you listen.”
I scoff. “I sit properly.”
“You sit like a man, not a woman,” my mum corrected.
Sienna smiled, all innocent. “I do try.”
Traitor.
We were seated at the small round table by the window in the living room. My mum had cooked too much, as usual. Eggs, bread, fruit, pastries. She’d made tea for herself, coffee for the rest of us.
She looked a lot better.
Elianna leaned back in her chair. “So. Rosa. Be honest. Who’s your favourite?”
My mum didn’t hesitate. “Sienna.”
I choked on my drink.
