Frank shook his head firmly. “That’s impossible, Kara. Even if there were, I would still consider her as lower than you. You are always my number one.”

Melanie pursed her lips. Not finding a solution, she patted Barbara on her shoulder. “Just write as best you can. Put a little lie if necessary, but don’t be too obvious. You can do it. I entrust this important task to you. Now, there are other things that I have to take care of.”

Barbara stared dumbfounded at her mother walking towards the door. “Mom?”
