"Robert! Don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I... I'll make sure you regret it!" Brianna spat through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with a deadly intent that made Hannah shudder.
Hannah didn't dare say anything, only trembled slightly and clung tightly to Brianna's hand. Both mother and daughter understood that their future was bleak, and the hope of a bright tomorrow was nothing but a distant dream.
