CHAPTER 16

  "Speaking of the devil," Dorothy said, darting her eyes away from Everly to Leo, who just got back from work with Ethan behind him holding a leather briefcase.

  "What is the tantrum you are throwing about?" He asked with an expressionless look on his face.

  "I can't believe you are standing there asking me such a stupid question when it is already obvious what it is" Dorothy shot back at him.

  "Mum, as you can see, I just came back from work, I had a long, stressful day and the only thing I need right now is to rest my head, not your drama" Leo replied.

  "Great! I am now considered an actor because I am trying to uproot a weed that had found its way into my tendered garden" Dorothy said, pushing her chair backward again.

  "Mum, can you please stop pointing out every word I say and attaching meanings to them?" Leo asked in a strained, tired voice.
