It was a sarcastic question, he had struck a nerve. "I also tried ta get ye to hold one of them earlier and ye shook yer head at me, did ye think I was goin ta force ye to take care of them?" She sat back and sighed, and calmed herself because Harry was getting harried. "Sorry... sorry... I don't wish ta argue, I am just so damned tired right now and have a lot on my mind. I don't mean ta snap."

Karen took a few deep breaths and calmed herself. Her brother's next words seemed to make her relax, and in turn, so did the boy. "I will try ta do better."
