Mina made her way back to the living room and sat down. Zane had coincidentally joined them a few seconds later. Mrs. Meagan was still making a fuss over Mina's injury, and she was becoming irritated that her son seemed not to care. She told Zane that she wanted Mina to stay at their home for the night. She said she did not feel comfortable sending the young woman on her way without someone to watch over her. In their previous conversation, Mina had alluded to the fact that she did not have money, which in turn meant that she would not have caretakers. Turning to Ian, Mrs. Meagan tried to gain his support.
"Don't you agree Ian?" but Ian did not look like he agreed. "What is wrong with you two? Don't you care about your friend at all?" The old woman scolded. "No wonder you are both single," she chastised. Both men flinched at her words and Mina tried to disappear. Ian cleared his throat in response.
