"Thanks for calling," Venessa replied, and then the line went quiet; Venessa had questions that had been bugging her to ask Karissa but didn't know how to put it. After the dream she had of her mother crying it felt like she couldn't trust her memory anymore. Like there was a falsehood around her.
"Venessa I..."
"Aunt there..." both of them spoke simultaneously, making them quiet down for a minute.
"You can go on first," Karissa mentioned, "the thing is that I.." Venessa paused, contemplating her next sentence, but changed her mind at the last minute. "How is your health, Aunty? I have been worried."
Karissa was stunned; the reason she was very nervous was because she found out Venessa was dating that scary boy from the Rossi family; whenever she remembered his cold eyes, it sent shivers down her spine.
