ASHER
Rage shimmers in my brother's eyes as he gnashes his teeth. I think I just snapped the control he's been latching onto after his conversation with father.
"Say what now?"
He charges towards me, his eyes like flaming torches. By his side, his fingers are already tight fists ready to deliver fatal blows. Despite the urge to back away from him, I ignore common sense and maintain my ground.
"I saw her go into your room last night and she never came out, not even after Ashley went in to see you. I am assuming he didn't find her in there because she probably didn't want to be seen."
"Watch your mouth, Ash."
But I continue nonetheless. "I know why you hid her. Ashley would have imagined the worst. Anyone who saw her come out of your room this morning would have assumed the worst."
"Like you?"
