Like she had.She looked back once and saw that Ford was trying to pacify the man who seemed to be angry. He was forcing a smile and rubbing his hands together. He was apologizing. And what was that look on his face? Why did he look worshipful of the young man? She was disgusted.

"You won't use the swear words on me again, I will not have any of that. And, I will make you apologize to me". He said. He was sure. Too sure. She laughed.

He planted his hands on his waist and tuned to her. She had still not stepped properly into the house." You have been standing by that door since you returned.. what the hell is wrong? Why are you not saying anything sensible, Sis? "Tony demanded. He was getting impatient and it was evident in his tone of voice and eye roll.."
