It was just a casual remark initially, and no one took it to heart. But things would land themselves like this sometimes; once it started, everything would eventually fall into place, becoming a no-brainer, ending with everyone looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Little miss, what's your daddy's name?"
"What a beautiful baby. Would you like some candy?"
"How did you get here? Do you know any of your family member's phone numbers? Aws, you're even holding a toy dog, how sweet and cute..."
The group huddled around her, talking one after another; some even tried to touch her face. Yvette suddenly burst into tears, holding onto the toy poodle plushie with dear life. "Go away, don't look at me!"
"Look at me, and I'll have my daddy fire all of you! My daddy is the greatest here!"
"I can't see anyone anymore!"
"Don't take my dog! I'm going to tell Daddy to fire all of you!"
Yvette's cries got all of them spooked.
"Oh, please don't cry, little one. Don't cry. We're not going to take you toy!"
"We won't look at you anymore..."
