Her father's expression turned stern. "Amahle, Lungelo is your stepbrother. He's been through a lot, and he deserves our understanding and support. Not your criticism and judgment."

Her father's face darkened. "That's enough, Amahle. I won't have you speaking to me like that. You need to learn to respect Lungelo and his boundaries."

It was soft and deliberate, like someone was trying to get my attention without being too obvious.
My heart skipped a beat as i wondered who could be on the other side of the door. And what they wanted from me...
