He stubbornly held the door frame. "Eve, can't you trustjust once?
I slammed the door shut with all my strength, and Ethan than reacted quiddy, avoiding getting his hand caught in the frjust in time. I slowly walked back to the couch, collapsing onto it, utterly drained.
"Grandma, I miss you. I'm so tired. They're all bullying me.
