Unexpectedly, Eva frowned. “Ugh, I don’t need this drama. Did you

forget that I don’t like hugging? This is awkward.” She patted Ava’s arm to get away from her.

Smiling, Ava returned the distance, “Yeah, I know it’s awkward, but we’re worth trying. We’re sisters. We don’t need to fight anymore, Eva.”
