Let Them Be

{MAYA}

If they allowed her to enter their shared bedroom, she would have helped nurse their broken hearts even with her inexperienced self.

Maya prepared supper and called them. She practically begged for them to come and take it. Unfortunately, they said they were not hungry.

Maya wished she knew how to handle the twins without acting like some motivational speaker lady. She was a therapist, yes, she had just begun her internship. But the rule still stood, never therapize your siblings.

What else was there for Maya Smith to do?

Brent shut himself inside his room also, and to make it worse it was the room opposite the twins. And when Maya called him for supper, his reply was the same as the twins.
