Natalia shifted uneasily under the weight of the onlookers‘ gaze. “I can walk on my own,” she

Hamilton’s eyes lingered on the bandage on her arm. “How did you get hurt?”
Eveleen’s eyes began to brim with tears. “Do you even care?”
Hamilton let out a soft laugh, “Why the temper tantrums now? If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t push you.”
“You can be so heartless!”
