Upon the sight, Brianna was stunned!
Melody was sprawled on the floor with her lace sleeves fanned out like broken wings. She looked small, trembling, and entirely fragile.
"She pushed me!" Melody shrieked with a cracking voice for the perfect amount of feigned terror. She leveled an accusatory, shaking finger at Brianna. "She actually pushed me!"
The silence of the prep room went away. Several crew members, easily swayed by the sight of a "crying" girl, rushed to Melody's aid, hovering over her as they helped her to her feet.
"Why would she push you?" Rochelle snapped defensively, holding her iPad like a weapon.
"Dr. Colburn doesn't have the time or the interest to touch you, let alone push you."
Melody didn't look at Rochelle. She let a single, pathetic tear track through her heavy mascara and a faked, hitched whimper. "All because I tried to ask her if the rumors about her marriage were true... I was just concerned! She just proved the point by attacking me!"
