In it sat a small, wrapped, chocolate candy. Brie glanced down at it, then back at Jinny; who kept smiling. She was sure that this was a trick. Would Jinny really spank her? Would she really give her the candy; Brie’s mouth watered at the thought of chocolate. Why would she let her chose between one horrible thing, and one nice thing?

“Dad said I can’t have candy ’cause I’m grounded.” Brie said, hoping to expose the lie.

“I won’t tell.” Jinny replied sweetly.

“What happens if I eat the candy?”

“Pick it and find out.”

“Okay…” Brie said, hesitantly. “I want the candy.”

Jinny held out the treat, and Brie took it. Slowly, she unwrapped the candy; watching Jin closely as she popped it in her mouth.

“Is that tasty?” Jinny kept smiling.
