Any attempts to maker her feel better at this moment felt a little bit like using a watering can in an attempt to put out a house fire, but Sophie just sort of shrugged. There wasn't much else she could add to the conversation. It just seemed to be a case where the normal, reasonable solutions wouldn't work so they had to resort to the more natural ones. The whole pecking order thing. And part of her got it, but she was never going to understand it completely. To be honest, she didn't really want to. And she wished that Teo didn't have to be front and center in it, either.
"So it's not a case of just fighting your uncle? It's fighting your uncle and then taking on all of your cousins? Is that all at the same time?" It seemed like too much for any one person to do even a were.
Then there was the buzzing of the timer from the kitchen. Sophie looked between the two men for a moment before ducking out, heading for the door. She didn't want to leave, but she hadn't made that banana bread just to ruin it. When she reached the door, she hesitated for a moment, not even looking back as she said, "Can I come help Rachel keep an eye out sometime?" It was not so she could watch over Teo, she told herself. It was not. In the slightest.
