I tried to slam the door in his face and he shoved his foot in the way and then pushed in. He's- He's stronger than I am." There really was not a single thing she could do to keep Hermes out if he really wanted to get in, and that thought did not comfort her.
"I was just trying to get through it. Just trying to let it happen as quickly as it could so I could get him out of my house." Clio, frustrated and anxious, ran her fingers through her hair several times.
