Sisterly Compassion
When I first imagined Lilith and Cyrena Martin in Cursed Hearts, I didn't know what to do with them. They were sisters with different fathers and were as opposite as night and day. Immediately, I had no tolerance for Cyrena Martin. She seemed too happy to follow the status quo while Lilith was the rule breaker. Thankfully, their personalities survived my morphing them into teens.
Book Excerpt
Lorelei's School of Deviltry, Semester One
As I rushed through the front door of the dorm, I literally ran into my little sister. We hadn’t spoken since our argument. She’d done a good job of avoiding being alone with me, and I’d done the same.
Cyrena knelt down and reached for her small purse. “I’m sorry, Lilith. I wasn’t—”
“No, sis.” I handed her her backpack. “That was my fault.”
Her smoky gray eyes widened. “You’re, like, apologizing to me?”
“Yeah. I’m sorry about the other night too. I shouldn’t have gotten upset with you.”
Instead of giving me her usual teary-eyed look when I’d hurt her feelings, Cyrena punched my arm and said, “Duh! We’re sisters.”
“I know.”
“And, I love you.”
“Same here.”
Somebody clapped behind us. I turned and saw Alistair.
“Is this a make-up?”
“Yeah,” I admitted, smiling broadly. “She’s my sister. How can I stay mad at her?”
He put his arms around both of us. “Exactly. Let’s go have lunch.”
