"Cornelia, don't be a mute. It's just us three here. Just spill the beans about your thoughts on love," Briana prodded when Cornelia didn't respond.
"Everyone has their own take on love. I'm just sharing mine, not speaking for everyone," Cornelia casually glanced at Marcus, who didn't react, and was apparently not interested in her views.
"We all want to hear what you think, especially my brother," Briana gave Marcus' sleeve a playful tug. "Bro, don't just stuff your face. Say something."
Marcus looked up, clearly interested in Cornelia's views yet pretending not to be. "We're all hitched here. Why not share some marital wisdom to make our lives more harmonious?"
Marcus' words made Cornelia feel like she was in a boardroom instead of a dinner table, expected to chime in. "If you guys want to hear it, I'll share. But let me make it clear that if my views don't conform to yours, you can't get mad."
Marcus would never get mad at her. "No way."
Briana liked Cornelia more than she thought and wouldn't get upset over differing opinions either. "Cornelia, just spill it."
Cornelia confessed, "I'm kind of skeptical about love."
"Why's that?" Briana probed.
