“Darn it‘ Do I mean nothing to her? Sabrina? Sabrina!” he yelled loudly

Sabrina, who had been huddled under her covers, heard his call and immediately opened her bedroom door, only to see the man staggering down the hallway toward her

“Why didn’t you answer?” Before he could finish his sentence, Carter lost his footing and fell onto Sabrina. His weight caused both of them to tumble onto the hallway floor.
