Anger (2)
Alessandra waited silently on the sidelines while Edgar continued to wreck the upstairs hallway leading to their bedroom. Only when he stood still and leaned against the wall did she move to approach him.
"Edgar," she said his name to let him know she was there. He might not have noticed during his fit of rage. "Have you calmed down now?"
"Far from it," Edgar replied still very much angry. He wouldn't be calmed until he found the person responsible for what happened to Timothy and Alfred.
"You need to warm up. You've been in the cold-"
"I do not need to do anything but find the person who did this," Edgar snapped raising his voice as he did so. He was tired of hearing about useless things when there was only one thing on his mind.
