"So - ", I bashfully picked up the shell-shaped sweet and continued, "- what do you do for fun?" What a way to break the ice, well done, Liliana. 
Marlene lifted her face towards me, and I swear I saw her eyes rolling, although physically impossible. She was wearing a blindfold, after all. 
"Is that the best breaking-the-ice-question that you had in store?", she dipped her madeleine into the tea, "I guess that's why you don't have much luck with...hmm...anybody", and she bit into it. Hard.

"You...what...I...wh- ", I jabbered incoherently as I jumped out of the chair and pointed my finger towards her face angrily, "- how dare you?!"
"Don't worry. It's understandable since you're supposed to love me first", the words slipped from her mouth without hesitation. But I could tell that she was surprised too. 

Liliana had too many fears and Marlene had too many secrets. 
Follow their journey as they discover themselves and the bond they share.
