When the last day of the school week came to an end, Shauna was ashamed of herself for weeping bitterly in her bedroom for whole day. She lay in bed with the blankets pulled up to nose, crying, refusing to answer the door when the maid, her brother, her sister until her parents begged her to come out.
After twenty-four hours, her father took the door off its hinges and dragged her down the stairs into her sunken living room with the white carpet and leather couches. Her kicked and screamed until he had to pick her up and carry her over his shoulder. She told him she hated him and threatened to take back the watch she had purchased for him last Christmas.
Her mother sat solemnly on the couch, her hands clenched into fists on top of the newspaper in her lap. She said it was all over.
