Gathering my thoughts, I continued, "What are you even saying? Are you referring to my family?"
Thomas let out a sigh, weariness etching lines on his face.
He replied, "Yes, if you truly want to understand, come inside."

I raised my voice slightly, accusingly stating, "It seems like you're unable to construct a story in this moment. The truth is what you're attempting to conceal, which is why you keep evading it..."
Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me, his tone escalating unexpectedly.
