Raised voices, tears shed
There were heated voices, accusations, and tears. Aunt Sarah’s face distorted in rage as she gesticulated frantically. ‘You think a text message is enough for a situation like this?’ she exclaimed. Uncle Ray’s face was beet red, his veins bursting as he expressed his frustrations. ‘I can’t believe you would be so sneaky,’ he cried. The room was filled with hurt and yelled words. Each claim seemed like another dagger hurled at me.

The room’s pandemonium subsided as everyone focused on the television. ‘What’s this?’ I asked uncomfortably, feeling everyone’s attention return to me. I looked at my husband, who had the same look of perplexity. The familiar visuals of the local news station flashed, and my heart rate rose in anticipation.
