"Then let me ask you, if your home is in Kedora, why don't you go back and live there instead of moving into someone else's home?" Mrs. Ziegler demanded aggressively. Vanessa's face turned pale. She looked helplessly at Theodore, who had been silent all this time. "Theodore, I..."

"Mom, it was me who asked her to move in," Theodore interjected, stepping forward and positioning himself in front of Vanessa, creating a human barrier between her and Mrs. Ziegler.
