"What's wrong with you?" she angrily asks while still holding her red cheek.

"What's wrong with me? Read this!" The woman handed her MacBook to Annie, for her to watch the news spreading throughout the country.

He put his arm around his sister, ruffles her hair, and says, "When did I become a fan of welcome banners? You forgot? I'm a man. You're the only one I'd like to see, that's enough."
