"Shut up Sandra, what do you know about what you just said? Duke is a neighbor to us and nothing more to you or us. You must mind the language you use to relate with him."
Sandra walked away in tears, she didn't even know when those words left her lips, perhaps, she has been nursing a lot of thoughts in her heart lately, and that have been making her have so much pity and affection for Duke.
Looking at the kitchen's pot steadily, she reluctantly refused eye contact with Annora who was fuming already over the words she used to describe Duke.
"Duke is not married to you and you are not his wife, do not go too far over fantasying about that Duke of a boy—all we are concerned about him, is for him to get well and that's all, and beyond that, I mean nothing."
The moment Bruno joined them in the kitchen. Sandra sneaked out in tears and then climbed hurriedly through the staircase to her bedroom.
