David had deposited me on the sofa in the living room despite the mud coating much of my bottom half . He paused for a second as though he wanted to say something more, but resisted. Not that it mattered. He had said enough. I had absolutely no idea what to think anymore. One minute he didn't want to be anywhere near me. The next he was worrying about me and I had no idea what it meant. Mamma had been into the living room multiple times complaining to me about the mess that would be left behind. Despite her grumbles each time I went to get up, she moaned at me to lie back down. Sometimes I just couldn't win with Mamma. Emily and Amiee were staying at the vineyard, but they had retreated to David's cabin. Leaving me to face another night alone with my parents. I was sat waiting for Mamma
