Perfect disguise by Elizabeth A (speld decodable readers .txt) 📗

"She was my sister." She covered the portrait with a white sheet and walked towards the window. "We weren't from the same parent and my mom didn't like her, but I took her as my sister."

"Your mom must dislike many people." I joked, trying to make her laugh.

I had a feeling something must have happened to her sister and her mother wasn't bothered about it.

Diana inhaled deeply and stared into space. She was far away, lost in a memory of the past. "She died on her birthday during a car accident." she pointed at the portrait. "The portrait was meant to be her birthday present. It would have been the first portrait she ever received." She blinked her eyes as tears swelled up, threatening to fall. 

She brushed her hair backward and smiled weakly. "I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with my laments."

I shook my head and walked to her. "No, you are not. You don't need to hide your sadness from me. I want to feel it and ease it away."

She wrapped her hands around my waist and buried her face at the nook of my neck. "Thank you."

I smiled and ran my hand through her hair. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah."

"Then let me prepare breakfast," I suggested.

"The maid have done that," she said.

"Oh."
