Tears welled up in Sabrina’s eyes She fanned her face with her hand in the hope of keeping them at bay "Will you help me put it on?"

Sabrina reached up and fingered the necklace, then looked into the reen color of her eyes

"My turn," Holly said excitedly "Here’s your so borrowed" Holly opened her pals that you love so hed "Borrowed, reed Holly, then took the earrings and put the new," her ht already have one, so if you do, take it off and use this one instead"

"Oh, Mo up her cheeks "I actually didn’t have one I don’t kno I could have forgotten that"

Raffaela nodded and walked to the door, when there was a hesitant knock She opened the door "Oh!"

Sabrina sniffed "Oh, Daddy, you’re here now That’s all that matters" She opened her arms, and her father took the last few steps that separated the, because she was choking up So she nodded instead and fought against the tears When he released her from his embrace, he looked her up and down
