Then obediently went to bed where Poppy was sleeping.
Making sure the two were asleep, Gemma turned to me to say. "Do you really have to be hard on Lucia?"
Gemma lowered her gaze as a sad expression formed on her face."She...probably doesn't have anyone she can call a family."
I sighed at Gemma. "That's why I'm being hard on her."

"But she's still a kid."
"Even for a child." Everyone takes kindness for granted.
And may end up manipulating those much like her.
Whether it's for money, fame, or something.
"Greed is something no one can stop."
