Chapter 48

“What?” Nelly quickly wiped her eyes and stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She started rubbing her eyes, acting like she was getting something out of there.

“I'm not crying, I just got something in my eye and I'm trying to get it out.” She sniffed. Scarlett stared at her, trying to figure out what the problem was because she was sure she saw her crying.

When she entered the bathroom, Nelly was standing in front of the mirror, bawling her eyes out and she even heard sounds of sniffing. So how could it be that something just went into her eye?

“Are you sure that's the problem? Because I could have sworn that I heard you crying just some moments ago.” Scarlett persisted but Nelly was determined to prove to her that she wasn't in fact crying.

“Don't worry Scarlett, something just went in my eye, that's all there is.” She giggled and quickly wiped the tears off her face before walking to meet Scarlett who was still standing by the door with a mixed expression on her face.
