EMMA
I pushed open the tall mahogany door of the mansion, my arms burdened with carefully wrapped parcels and shiny trinkets that I had gathered for my baby sister.
Every step along the marble hallway vibrated with anticipation, I couldn't wait to hear her beautiful bubbling voice.
The things I had gotten were way past my plan because Lucy had also gotten more for her. She had a lot of cash to spend, so she outdid me, no matter how I tried to decline she refused.
My heart swelled as I recalled her gentle reminder "Emma, don't forget to tell her how much I adore her. I can't wait to see her smile." Her words kept echoing in my head.
Before I could steady my thoughts, a familiar voice cut through the hushed grandeur.
"Emma!" The sound, warm and urgent, tumbled down the corridor.
I turned to see Livvy racing towards me, her delicate form almost too small.
