Yet, hearing her elders' sarcastic remarks and the mocking laughter from those around her, Aurora Sterling didn't get angry or throw a fit. Instead, she started to laugh along with them.
Sharon Sterling was a little surprised, thinking, 'Aurora must be putting on an act. She's probably furious right now.'
Aurora Sterling let out a charming laugh, her voice lovely. "First Great-Uncle, Third Great-Uncle, don't you recognize me? It's me, Aurora Sterling."

'Is this young lady really that wild girl, Aurora Sterling?'
"Are you really Aurora Sterling?" Bernard Sterling asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.
Aurora Sterling nodded. "First Uncle, has it been so long since you've seen me that you no longer recognize me?"
