Samara shook her head at Eli. "It doesn't matter," she replied, still whispering. "There has to be something there."
While Samara wasn't still yelling at Benji and telling him to leave, no one really knew if that was because she had fainted or not. Not even she did, but that wasn't anything new. She hadn't ever really blamed her brother to begin with, she just needed something to do with herself and blaming him gave her a place to throw her confusion and anger just as she always had when it came to her mother. So she nodded in agreement to what Eli said because it was the truth, in the end.
Jason looked at his uncle and then at his father and finally his mother. "So you aren't cross with him?" he asked, seemingly ignoring the comment about his grandmother being dead.
Samara shook her head slowly. "No, I'm not," she said and looked over at her brother. Benji nodded, accepting her silent apology.
"Alright then," Jason replied and he no longer seemed interested in the adult conversation that was happening. Samara could understand though, because he had not had a lot of contact with Cecelia in the past so his reaction would not be terribly surprising.
Benji stood up. "I guess I should go. I just wanted to tell you what happened. Do you still want me to watch Jase?"
Samara looked at Eli. "Do you want him to? I don't mind either way, really."
