★★★
Stephanie has been slowly drifting away from her siblings especially since Mrs.Oliver had kiara, she would spend her time watching kiara or bathing her or sorting her dress.she no longer bothered about flora or alex.she never wanted to play with them or tell them bedtime stories,but them to bed or feed them the first spoon of their food.she began drifting until she was no longer close enough to her siblings . she spent her time free from making care of kiara when she was a baby ,making pastries with her friends.
She never knew she was falling apart in her duties as big sister,but she was. She wouldn't remember to give her siblings pastries she brought back,since kiara was born she would give all the pastries to her. Alex and flora began to have strong detestments towards her.They became rude and naughty towards her.she would shout all day long ,especially when she had to babysit and alex would make for flora and himself whenever Stephanie had to cook.she always thought it was their bad behaviour, but no,she pushed them to it

"I did,I always did,but how would you know ",Stephanie said as she broke down in tears disappointed about what her only brother had to say about her.
"Steph don't cry,not because of alex at least ", kiara said,reaching out to wipe Stephanie's tears,even though she knew she wouldn't reach.
