her .

“ What ? ” I whispered , hoping my voice was steady enough .

I stared at Clarissa , with my eyes wide open .

For as long as I can remember , my family has seen me as an outsider – a stain on the family’s name .

They dared to accuse me of not sympathizing enough with them when I never felt like at daughter .

The accusation ignited resentment that I’d kept hidden for years and I exploded .

“ Running away ? ” I repeated , taking a step towards Clarisa , my tone rising .
