"What is wrong? Why are you crying?" Prisca asked in alarm the moment she walked into the house and saw Kimberly lying down on the couch and sobbing. Kimberly didn't say a word to her but just sat up on the couch and kept sobbing. She said nothing as Prisca approached her and embraced her while she cried.
"What is wrong? Did something bad happen? Did your father say or do something awful to you?" Prisca asked again after a while, when she felt Kimberly was beginning to calm down a bit.
"It's Eric... I think he is no longer interested in the arrangement." Kimberly finally managed to speak up while sniffling.
"What? He said that to you?" Prisca asked, already boiling with anger at the thought that Eric was messing with Kimberly.
"No he didn't. It's just that... I told him about how horrible I am." Kimberly said looking away from Prisca shamefully.
"Don't tell me he got angry and left?"
