Mia and Gabrielle were still together. Mia smiled from ear to car when she thought about Gabrielle and her brother being together. She would do everything within her p er to make sure that they became closer, What gladdened her heart the more was when she heard her praise her brother. She WAS Overjoyed beyond words.

“I’m so happy that there is a possibility of my brother being with you. Do you think that my brother is a good man? Would you like to be My sister-in-law? Besides, it would be a nice thing for you to promise that you’ll matty Micheal to thank him for saving your life,” Mia said with so much excitement written all over her. She was so happy that she even swayed her body from side to side as she spoke.

“Mia, I’rni sorry, but what I’m about to say will surely discourage you. Your brother and i can only be friends. There can’t be anything more than that between us,” she said as she looked at her seriously.
