"Hey, it's me. I'm coming in." It was Tiana's voice and Valerie sat up.
Tiana opened the door and walked in, smiling broadly.
"I finally found ya, little one." She said and approached. "Oh my, this is definitely Regina's doing." She said, scanning Valerie's face. "She roughed up your pretty face so badly and..."
She flinched as she finally saw Valerie's eyes. Those eyes... They reminded her of someone. A long-time friend. Her face was very fresh in her mind and this was definitely not her. Talk about the age difference and the difference in their appearance... It was just her eyes were so familiar and warm.
Well, it could be a coincidence. The world was vast.
"That girl needs to know how to be gentle." Tiana said, returning to her carefree manner. "Well, it's better than the doctors coming over themselves. Those guys can be crazily brutal."
