Mellisa wiped her tears and took a deep breath, trying to stay strong and calm. She put on a brave face and decided to move forward despite her sadness. and pulled away from the hug, forcing a smile as she spoke. "Granny, how are you today." She asked, trying as much as possible to sound normal. Riya knew everything but said nothing.
" I'm good dear," She smiled sadly. "Do you need anything, or do you want to go shopping? Anything you want??" Riya asked. Trying to reduce her guilty coincidence.
