Broken Strings
“Auntie, Melissa isn’t used to high heels.”
“But the shoes are the perfect match in her outfit.”
“She isn’t used—”
“Nonsense.” Auntie held both my hands. “Come here, sweetheart. I’ll teach you how to walk and stand in a way where your feet won’t hurt.”
“O-Okay, ma’am.”
I tried to walk a few times, but I always stumbled or fell to my knees. Thank goodness, Wright always helps me.
"Maybe we need something to motivate her."
Aunt Linda pushed Wright away from me and sent a nice-looking employee of hers to him. I frowned when Wright smiled at my behaviour as the women clung to him. This freaking jerk!
