approached apoplectic proportions, his eyes protruding alarmingly from their sockets.
“What process transformed you into this unrecognizable creature? Had | foreseen this metamorphosis, | would
have prevented your departure with your mother at all costs!” His finger jabbed the air, pointing at Elissa with
increasing vehemence, his voice climbing to dangerous decibels.
“Does shhold no meaning for you? Has propriety abandoned your character entirely? Does this deplorable
behavior reflect your mother’s influence?”
His accusation pierced her carefully constructed defenses.
Moisture welled instantly in Elissa’s eyes, betraying the wound his words had inflicted.

the extensive difficulties she has precipitated over the years?”
“Does this perpetual grievance not revolve entirely around Robin?” Weariness colored the inquiry.
Addy’s hand sliced through the air in a gesture of impatient dismissal. “Those events transpired in the distant
past. Even Robin has relinquished his grievance, so what purpose drives your continued fixation?”
