She lightly rapped on the door to Carol's room, and seeing the defensive posture Dennis had taken, she spoke softly, "Go easy on my brother." “Arabella, you don't understand." Dennis was about to enlighten Arabella about Clark's transgressions, but the warning look in her eyes stopped him mid-sentence.
Truth be told, over the years of knowing Arabella, he had cto fear her stern gaze. It was unnerving and somehow managed to rattle him.
His bravado faltered, and he tried to justify his stance, "He was in the wrong." Arabella then turned her gaze to Clark, who, under the pressure, admitted, "It was my fault." “Talk it out,” suggested Arabella, uninterested in meddling in their affairs.
