He has done this so many times, I can't even remember when it started. He says he's sorry after each time but promises never keep.
pauses, thinking We need to confront him and make sure he understands the gravity of his actions.
WhimsicalWaterfall
What if he gets angry?
takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm If he gets angry, stay calm and listen to me. We need to stick together and not let him intimidate us.
WhimsicalWaterfall
