Mirabella leaned lazily against the doorframe, a teasing smile on her face.

"Heartless? Nothing but flaws?"

Cassie snapped to attention, quickly trying to defend herself. "No, sis, you must've misheard. I was just saying you're the most beautiful!"

"My hearing's just fine," Mirabella said, pretending to clean her ear. "Seems like you've got quite a few thoughts about me."

"Not at all." Cassie shook her head so vigorously it was like a bobblehead, almost ready to spill her heart out to prove her innocence.
