Morgan wasn’t sure if she should laugh or cry. The news of her rival coming to visit her lit a fire beneath her feet.
"I will not allow some slut to snatch Christian away from me!" she roared.
"MORGAN!" my mother scolded, displeased at her choice of words, "This is exactly the type of thing that makes you sound like you were raised in the slums! When Cherie visits, you must ensure that these words do not escape your mouth!"
My father held his head in annoyance. Morgan’s nonstop crying was taking a toll on him.
"Leslie, when is this girl coming?" he asked me.
"She didn’t say exactly when, but I assume very soon. Tomorrow or the day after," I replied calmly.
"Good, you’re all dismissed," he waved his hand, signaling for all of us to leave him alone. My mother pulled Morgan out of the room, allowing me time to escape to my room, where I could finally get some rest.
That was too close. Thankfully, Christian remembered to tell me to wear sunglasses whenever we were out.
