“Who are you?!” Ethan addressed rudely at the man who entered the house with Gillian. He was also holding his bags which Gillian had brought back from the hospital. Ethan came forward and grabbed Gillian’s arm and pulled her close to him as if he were guarding her from the man. Standing in between them, Ethan turned to Gillian. “Why did you give him my bags?!”
Everyone in the room saw what happened. Aaron took a step back and lowered the bags on the floor. Without realizing the cold December air was keeping Ethan’s hot temper from rising, Aaron closed the front door. Gillian was still emotional and couldn’t come up with a response.
Aunty May quickly came forward to fan Ethan’s rising temperature by grabbing Aaron’s arm. “This is Aaron. He’s my nephew and he’s visiting me! I asked him to help Gillian bring in your bags.” Aunty May nodded to Gillian who realized Ethan was still holding onto her.
