It was one of the high-end coffee shops in Milan, a business that was made out of pleasure and owned by his client.They went straight to the counter, where Marsha immediately looked for the menu being displayed above. Her little fingers were on her mouth, gently tapping it while she was pondering which food to order."What do you want, kid? Make it fast because a client is waiting for me," the man said."Uhm... I want that one!" She pointed her fingers to the chocolate frappe."No," he scoffed at her. "That’s high in caffeine.""But I want it..." Her lips trembled as if she was going to cry.The man breathed in heavily and eyed her coldly. "Didn’t I tell you to behave?""You asked what I wanted, and I told you what I wanted.

IN THE CAR,“Do you know how to buckle a seatbelt?” Ethan asked Marsha.“Of course, mom taught me how to do it,” she replied and then proudly showed him how to buckle a seatbelt.Ethan felt amused at Marsha’s competency. He was quite surprised that a young girl like her already knew how to buckle a seatbelt at her age. For that, he wanted to commend her mother, for once. But the fact that she lost her was truly a disappointment.“Instead of going to the cops, will you be able to take me to my school instead?” Marsha innocently asked him.“And do you know the name of your school?” Ethan raised an eyebrow.Marsha glared at him, folding her arms against her chest.
