Chapter 13: Why can’t she reveal her face
Marcy didn’t seem to have a clue of what was going on. Perhaps she had forgotten all about keeping Naomi’s identity a secret, the excitement of going shopping with her nephew for the first time in a long time over riding her other thoughts.
Her eyebrows shot up and her warm smile slowly faded in worry as she stared at Naomi who stood still like a non-living object, looking at her nephew in shock, unmoving.
"Naomi....". She calmly called out, about to reach forward for her shoulder, probably to snap her out of her reverie. Her next move shocked her however.
Naomi turned around like a bolt!!!, backing the two just before Daniel glanced up at her.
Marcy had to step back at the sudden movement, blinking severally, forcing herself together before she fell apart at the shock of her slithering movements.
What was she doing
She heard her Nephew mutter some incoherent words and sigh in irritation.
"Honey, are you okay?". She asked softly, wondering what she was wearing in a haste.
"I’m fine aunt". Daniel heard her say In the small sweet voice of hers that could melt hot dark chocolate in his mouth.
She finally turned and her eyes locked with Marcy’s. Her lips parted in surprise and then realization of what she had done.
"I have a question aunt. Tons actually". He glanced at Marcy before glaring at Naomi who lowered her eyes to the ground.
