Waking the next morning I get up, quickly showering and getting changed into my jeans and polo shirt. Throwing my hair up into a bun while I walk down the stairs trying to remember where I put my shoes. Finding them by the door I quickly slip them on and walk into the dining room to Mara having a full on meltdown as she chucked her cereal at Ryland crying hysterically over something.
"Mara you don't throw things" Ryland scolds picking up her bowl that had splattered on the floorboards. His shirt was covered in cornflakes where it had got on him.
"Why did you do that?" I asked her but she was far gone screaming and not paying attention to anyone. The lights suddenly turn on and start flickering, the kettle and oven light turning on as all the power suddenly starts to surge.
"Mara stop baby, calm down I will go get it" Ryland tries to sooth as he picks her up off the chair. Her face was blotchy as she heaved with her sobs.
