"I can't! What would Father say? And Mother? And Damien...He's not like he used to be, Serenata. And there's you. I can't leave you here all alone with them..." She sighed and wrapped her arms around herself.

"It's not fine." Lene shook her head, "I'm sorry Serenata...you said you didn't have a good day earlier and I kept going...and it isn't fine. How can he not expect you to like him? I mean, I'm sure you don't right now...but...eventually?"
