"Right, so I'm the screw-up?"

"Yeah, you're the screw-up."

"And would you like to explain to me how you've worked that out when you're the one who's been home again?" Mason could feel himself getting irritated with George. He knew that she probably wouldn't have said what she had done if he hadn't caught her.

She had taken a defensive stance against him, "you wouldn't understand." She turned and started to move away and Mason felt a flush of anger. He reached out, grabbing her upper arm and spinning her around.

"You know, I get really sick of you. All you ever do is whinge and whine about how everyone has a better life than you. For once why don't you do us all a favour and shut up for once? Give us a rest!"

George yanked her arm away from him, anger plastered over her face. For a moment Mason thought she would reply but she just turned and silent stormed away.
