"Guess so." Tanisha threw a glance over her shoulder, unsure whether leaving Clair in Cornelia's room was good.
"Why don't you take a break?" Zack suggested, his eyes scanning the room. The house was bustling with two card games in progress and the kitchen busy, but there was no sign of Cornelia. "Where's Nelly?" He asked.
"Nelly's caught up in something." Tanisha thought it best to keep things under wraps, hence didn't disclose the whole truth to Zack, "Just carry on with your stuff, I'll go check on her."
Still feeling uneasy, Tanisha returned to the door to stand guard, just in case anything went south.
In the room.
Clair attempted to reach out for Cornelia's hand but was met with avoidance before she could even touch her. Tears welled up in Clair's eyes and some dropped, "Cornelia, can you spare a few minutes for me to say something?"
Despite Clair's tears, Cornelia remained unmoved, "Go ahead."
Given the chance to speak, Clair was confident she could sway Cornelia.
