It took her a while to regain her composure and she rushed out, following him. But she stopped midway when she heard the noise.

"Who the hell took my laptop from my room?" Alan angrily asked and his voice echoed through the house. 

 

It seemed as though everyone was trying to figure out what was happening. Elizabeth seemed to have gotten an idea and she inched closer to her son. 

 

Eleanor watched as Alan looked his mum over. 

Alan's body language had shifted, and she could see the tension in his jaw as he looked Elizabeth over. 

Eleanor saw the frustration in Elizabeth's eyes as the tension in the room continued to grow.

Her heart lost its rhythm while also trying to calm herself down by taking deep breaths and reminding herself that her husband needed time and space to work through whatever he was going through.
