"Gwenda Evans, I know you're home. Open the door!"
The next second, Benson's voice sounded outside the door.
In the living room, Olivier stood up and walked towards her. "Who is it?"
"My dad."
Gwenda frowned. She did not want to open the door.

Olivier's face darkened.
Gwenda pondered for a moment before looking up. "If I may trouble you to hide in the bedroom for a bit? I'll deal with him."
"Is that really okay?"
"I'll be fine."
Gwenda nodded.
