Mommy's Girl

Cherie DeVille is in the kitchen pouring herself a glass of iced tea when her stepdaughter Gia Derza walks in. Hi, honey, Cherie says. 'Hi honey,' Gia repeats. Cherie patiently ignores her. 'How was your day?' Cherie asks. 'How was your day?' Gia repeats with a smirk. Cherie sighs. Look, she's only been married to Gia's father for a few months now, but she knows Gia well enough by now to see that she loves bugging people and getting under their skin, Cherie says as Gia repeats her sentence again. Gia smirks again, but Cherie is the picture of patience. 'No matter WHAT you do, you won't get a reaction out of me, missy,' Cherie says with a laugh. That sounds like a challenge, Gia says mischievously. If that's how she sees it, then she guesses it's a challenge then, Cherie laughs good-naturedly. Well, challenge...ACCEPTED, Gia says with bluster.
