Before he even say a word, she was already walking away, not looking behind at all.Mr Roland could not help but wonder what kind of child would not notice or care when a parent is struggling or act different from how they use to."wait right there, Meredith" he forced out, his voice firm but gentle. And immediately Meredith held her movement, waiting to hear why her father stopped her in such manner for the first time. "Have you asked why your mother keeps getting weaker every day ?" he asked, his eyes going down to Odette who was leaning on the table.Meredith seemed uninterested in any question that would not set the table, as the only thing that brought her down from her room was breakfast, and since it was not ready then there was absolutely no business or whatsoever that connects her to what her father was trying to say.So she just ignored him.

"Hey" He said, standing at the door entrance with his hand glued on the doorknob. "What are you doing?

As she walked towards her room and almost approaching her door, she looked and saw her father walking into the house. Meredith rushed over to him, not wasting a second."Thank goodness you are here dad. Cause I'm literally loosing it" she said not minding to check if her father was listening or not.
