“Okay let’s go home Comelia, now tired from all the play tossed her last handful of snow and wobbly made her way into the snowfield
Marcus ckly pulled her back. This way”

She was drunk and rambling about another man. Even though Marcus knew they were just friends, like family, he couldn’t help but get upset. His face darkened.
Cornelia started laughing “See I guessed right You’re giving me the tulky face”
