Cullen stared at Amelia intensely from where he stood, all confused. What was that glare about? He wondered if he missed a thing she said earlier.
Walking up to her, he asked gently, "Can we talk?" He couldn't let her leave his presence all annoyed without having a clue why.

Smiling at Miley's almost sulking expression, she tenderly rubbed the girl's cheek and ordered, "Go to my room and wait. I'll come in quick with breakfast,"
Miley nodded obediently and disappeared from her sight. Amelia stared at her retiring back for a while before turning to face Cullen.
"You're never gentle with her, why?" Amelia asked before he would part his lips to speak, "She wasn't proud of what she did, and she apologized but yet, you did not take it easy on her,"
