Cornelia got such a fright that her hand shook, and the food she was about to feed Marcus just dropped to the ground.
Marcus didn't get to eat. He shot Briana a look, his face all grumpy. "Briana, no more shouting, okay? You scared Cornelia."
"Okay, I'll tread lightly from now on, and I promise not to spook Cornelia." Briana stepped up and hugged Cornelia. "Cornelia, he's actually a considerate guy, right?"
"Uh-huh." Cornelia felt a bit awkward. Earlier she was tasting the food, and when Marcus said he wanted to try some, she just handed it to him without considering if that was appropriate. "Bri, the food's ready. Let's go eat."
Briana handed Marcus the plate of food. "Lead the way. Cornelia and I need to have a little girl talk."
Marcus obeyed, but he walked really slowly.
Cornelia asked, "Bri, what do you want to talk about?"
Briana asked, "Cornelia, if you and my brother were both single, would you consider dating him?"
"No." Cornelia remembered this wasn't the first time Briana asked her this question. Setting aside the fact that there are no ifs in life. Even if there were, she wouldn't like Marcus. Because she knew well that the gap between her and Marcus' social status was too wide. Such a marriage wouldn't last, and she didn't want to be the next Skyler.
