"Mammy!" Briar called out cheerfully to the woman, who stood just a distance away with a cane in her hand, a smile on her face.
The woman's wrinkles hidden by the markings deepened, as she looked at Briar and responded, "Child, you are finally here!"
Briar stuck her tongue playfully at Mammy Adonai and responded as she approached her, "it's good seeing you, Mammy! I have missed you so much!" her voice a coquettish.
Benjamin, watching the exchange, was in a state of shock, in disbelief at what he was seeing.
How come his sister was being too .... He couldn't even describe what he was seeing. It was just strange, and yet the two didn't seem to mind at all.
He could only walk forward to greet Mammy Adonai. After all, she would be taking care of his sister in the days to come.
"I missed you as well," Mammy Adonai said smilingly, as she patted Briar's shoulder.
Briar, like a child, grinned happily at Mammy Adonai before remembering that she had come with her brother.
