“Well…, we were arguing, and he slapped me… really hard. I was standing, and I lost my balance. I hit my head when I fell, and I tried to catch myself with my hands, but I ended up hitting the tea table. After that, I pulled the tablecloth down, and hot food spilled all over me.”

“No need. I’ve seen all this before, and I’d like to stay, just to make sure I know how to take care of her.”

“Angela, is it alright if Peter stays?”
