Marianna smiled at Brooke, the look in her face said everything.  Hearing her words, Marianna was a bit dismayed.  Maybe she hadn't spent enough time with her eldest daughter.  Deciding not to dampen the mood with such thoughts, she quickly looked at the both of them.  "You three are the most beautiful girls I have ever seen..and not just because I'm your mom.  Now I can't imagine what has caught your brother's attention..but his loss is our gain."<br/><br/>Looking at Ashley with a tender smile.  "Your sister is in need of some encouragement.  We all know family comes first.  Why don't you help Brooke get a bit more comfortable sweetie."  Her eyes looked over both girls, licking her lips at the prospect of a wonderful show.
