âAnd Iâm protecting mine, me and my brother. I donât make the bandits do anything they donât already want to do.â Tyreen squatted down in front of Ava so they could still be at eye-level. âOh, please. What does an orphan know about family?â
It was a low blow, especially given that it was flawed, but it hurt nonetheless.Â
âI had a family, one that cared about me. I wouldnât expect you to know what thatâs like, your brother just follows you around like a puppy dog âcause he canât do anything on his own.â Ava could play that game too, if thatâs how Tyreen wanted to do it.
âWhereâs the rest of your family, huh? Your loving parents?â
