Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
Kiki sat down next to me and put a comforting hand on my bare knee.
My bed creaked under the pressure of the extra weight. She turned toward my opened window and the drifting white drapes. Her the skin around her eyes was red and puffy from crying. The late afternoon sunlight poured through the window, and Kiki's eyes began to water as she wiped it away with her hand.
“It’ll be okay.” She said, as our parents fought downstairs, yelling so fiercely that we could hear them up two flights of stairs, down the hall and through a door where my attic bedroom was, “They’ll work it out.” I think she was trying to convince herself more than me they way her chocolate eyes seemed to stare right through me.
Well, this is quite an interesting little prologue here. From what I can judge of the situation, it looks like two siblings that are up in their room trying not to cry about the fact that their parents appear to be looked in some kind of fairly big argument in another part of the house. The details about how one of them has certainly being crying for a while and the fact that these reassurances sound a bit hollow an unconvincing suggests that the problem is quite serious there, and on top of that we also get a pretty good sense that these two siblings care for each other quite a bit with how they appear to be trying to comfort each other.
I returned the empty gaze, until she blinked a few times and smiled, “Don’t worry,” she repeated half-heartily, “Please don’t worry, Carolyn.“
"I know. I won't worry, Kiki, just for you." I said, I was the one comforting her, now, "Just never leave me. Okay?"
Hmm, here you can sort of see that both siblings realize that their reassurances are a bit hollow and neither of them can really be sure of anything, but then the dialogue which seems to follow this realization suggests that they also immediately them try to reassure each other that they will always have each other and that makes for a pretty sweet moment in the chaos that's going on around them and the terrible situation they seem to be stuck in.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
