She held my shoulders at arm's length, her face shifting into a furious state for a split second, dashing me a stinging slap right across the face, tears still flooding down her face, back to its ugly cry expression, “I guess I deserved that,” I mumbled, chuckling slightly and she copied, crashing back on me into a bear hug.
“Y-you’re going to tell me everything, and I mean everything about why the hell you are here!” She sobbed, her long eyelashes wet above her brown eyes. I nodded, cleaning the tears off her cheeks with my thumbs.
We left the garden, passing the grand stairs
