Abby nearly jumped out of her skin as the cupboard door slammed, and she glared back at Rena as the other woman turned to her. Her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach, and Abby found herself rather speechless. She opened her mouth to speak, then shut it when the words wouldn't come.
"Fine," she finally said, drawing herself up to her full height and finding herself rather uncomfortable at the realization of just how much shorter she was. Her fingers clenched at her sides, clutching her skirts and she found herself growing angrier- and more hurt- the longer she stood there. But again, the words wouldn't come, and Abby pushed past Rena toward the door- she needed to find an empty room or some place where she could clear her head and cry the tears that threatened to fall even now.
