Um, why is he asking me that? She raised her head and saw his eyes shining bright like obsidian gleaming under the sun, and she frowned in confusion. His grip on her shoulders tightened, his force almost breaking her bones. “Ow.” She gasped.
As if he was electrocuted, Leo pulled his hand back, but his eyes remained on her. What she said earlier. Her tone, her voice, even her inflection… they’re all just like her. The only different thing is their names.
Big Eyes used to say the same thing to me.
Amelie rubbed her shoulder. “Is something the matter, Mr. Alston?”
Mr. Alston? He snapped back to reality and stared at Amelie again. Probably just a coincidence. She doesn’t sound like Big Eyes now. “Sorry,” he whispered and left the room, shaking his head.
Amelie saw him off in silence, a sigh of relief escaping her lips. And I thought he recognized me. A sense of disappointment welled within her, but she shook it off.

Amelie felt for her, but she couldn’t help with the pain Bria was feeling. And it made her feel powerless. She tried her best to calm the girl down, but Bria flew into a rage when it was time to take her medicine. She shoved the glass of water away and tossed her medicine into the distance. “I don’t want any pills! I’m in pain!” And she burst into tears again.
“Oh, you can’t let her cry right after the surgery. Don’t want to reopen the wound, or it’s going to be dangerous.” The nurse came in.
