I laughed and looked at Dana.
“Ah yes, how can I forget about you?
“If it weren’t for you! Throwing yourself at a married man.
“If it weren’t for you! Nina would never…
“It’s your-”
Before I could finish my sentence, Samuel pulled Dana behind him and swung his hand

I wiped away the blood at the corner of my mouth as I stood up. I glared at him with my reddened eyes.

“Enough!” Samuel slammed the table. “Rachel! I am a firefighter! If you keep causing a scene like this! I will never be able to rescue anyone!”
“Anyone?” I chuckled in fury. I pointed at Tilly in Dana’s arms and said loudly, “Is your daughter not just anyone? Did you or did you not rescue her? Well you didn’t! I told you! Nina was upstairs in the dance studio!”

The urn fell to the ground and the ashes spilled everywhere.
I looked at Samuel in disbelief with tears constantly falling. “S–Samuel! H–How could you! That’s Nina!”
