STEPFATHER

SHE HARSHLY TAPPED on his shoulder making him turn around as he faced her with surprise masking his features. As she stood there with her hands curled into fists and eyes fixated on him, she felt waves of irritation and fury consume her with her insides churning with rage leaving a repulsive taste in her mouth.

Her irritation only seemed to intensify with each passing second, making it difficult for her to maintain any semblance of composure.
