"I have been calling you all day."
"You left the house for two days without informing us."
"I was worried about you."

Her brothers begun bombarding her with such questions and truth be told, she didn't have the strength to even choke out an answer for them; she felt weak and tired.
"I don't want to talk about it," Rhea said, pushing her annoying elder brother, away from the spot where stood by the door, Theodore looked at her with knowing eyes and left his spot in front of her, allowing her to space.
