#strife.1

Anna couldn’t actually spend every second making sure Rufus didn’t die when she wasn’t looking. The kiddos still needed lessons and their parents still needed daycare. Now it was evening and she was camped out in his room while he was out getting tests or something, surrounded by piles of kid’s homework.

Someone had definitely come in and possibly been there for several minutes before Anna noticed. She hadn’t had time to schedule something with Hayden to talk hearing aids. It was only when shoes showed up in her line of sight that Anna looked up. “Oh!” She blinked at the hawk-ish woman standing in front of her. “You’re umm,” Rufus had definitely told her this name, the sister that wasn’t related, “Strife? Right?”
