Before Keira could finish her sentence, Erin walked over, interrupting her. "Actually, what she's trying to say is that I'm a pretty good person. Mary, mind treating me like a bestie too from now on?"

Once again, Mary looked back at Keira.
Keira was about to say something when Mary suddenly leaned in close to her ear. "Keera, I don't care who you are. I only know one thing—you'll always be my best friend."
Keira was momentarily stunned.
Mary smiled at her, then patted her on the shoulder. "I'll see you later."
Keira nodded.
Once Mary walked away, Keira let out a bitter smile.

Mary and Keera had been childhood best friends. Keira had been impersonating her sister for so long. How could Mary not have noticed something was off?
