Brenda let out a sigh of relief when she found nothing was amiss with Olivia's makeup.

"You look alright. You've fixed your lipstick, haven't you?"

Olivia replied, "Mom... Why should I compare myself to others? I don't want to, and I don't care."

"Silly girl, who said anything about comparing? We want you to make us proud. You're our only daughter. You have to carry the responsibility."

"Oh." Olivia sighed. She found it tiring.
