No dad was cool with other dudes digging his daughter, especially when that dude had been a thorn in your side.
Zack didn’t say anything. Marcus’ words were a punch to his gut.
Cornelia quickly pulled Marcus aside, "Come help me with breakfast. They will wake up soon.”
In the kitchen, Cornelia gave him a look, "What's your deal?"
Marcus, "Isn't it obvious?"
Cornelia, "Absolutely, so clear it hurts."
Marcus, "How can I sit back while he's after Bri?"
Cornelia, "Zack and I both come from humble backgrounds. You think he's not good enough for Bri, does that mean you think I'm not good enough for you?"
Marcus hadn't thought that far; he just didn't want other guys fancying his little sister, "That's not what I mean."
Cornelia, "But it sounds like it is."
Marcus felt like he couldn't explain himself, so he didn't bother.
Cornelia went on, "Zack knows better than to bother Bri. I wish you'd stop saying things that hurt him."
"Cornelia!" He said her name with a low growl, with a hint of anger in his voice.
