Mrs. York pursed her lips, "Why does everything sound so different when it comes out of your mouth?"

Quintessa grinned, "What's up with Tyrone? Does he even know you're getting pushed around out here? Can't even stand up for his own mom. Some son he is."

Mrs. York quickly replied, "I haven't told him. He can be a bit rough around the edges. He always acts first, and thinks later. If I made a big deal out of it, people would say the Yorks are just throwing their weight around."

Quintessa found it amusing, "There's a time and place for standing your ground. Some folks will only see your patience as weakness. Not everyone deserves your kindness."
