Smothered by Love

Cleo is the middle child, longing for freedom among her clingy, exasperating family—but sadly, she adores them. "I just want to taste freedom once, where I can do anything I like. I might be so grateful." —Cleo "Shouldn't you already be grateful you have us?" —Saldon "Will this ice cream make you behave, little sister?" —Deyren "Let's see how long you survive without us." —Werten *Sure, I'm really grateful to have you all, just not for how you are. You make me feel like I'd sooner die than stay here.* I'm still new at this, so sorry for any mistakes or anything that seems off.
