Next she held up a piece of paper saying “Turn up the volume!” Charlotte mimed talking and waving her hands between her mouth and ears. “Stupid volume controls,” she grumbled. “I know I should have fixed them myself.”
Maggie chuckled.
“Oh, so you can hear me?” Charlotte asked suddenly, startling Maggie a little. “Well, don’t just sit there like an idiot.
“Hell-lo!” Charlotte tapped a finger on the lens. “You know it’s really rude to just ignore me like that.”
After a few moments of hesitation, Charlotte sighed. “Fine. Baby steps it is.” She took a few steps away from the camera until she was standing in the middle of the room.
