“You can’t even handle bright lights. How could you…?”
Heather was genuinely alarmed. Now, no matter where Natalie wished to go, Heather would likely object, given the harm certain places posed to her eyes.
“It’s not a big deal, Mom,” Natalie tried to reassure.
“Quiet!” Heather’s frustration was palpable, her head throbbing with anger.
“I genuinely forgot,” Natalie admitted.
She had indeed forgotten the warnings from her doctor. Since she seldom visited snowy regions, the advice slipped her mind over time.

Natalie nodded.
The atmosphere instantly chilled, a palpable cold emanating from Heather. It was evident just how infuriated and desperate Heather felt regarding Irwin’s actions!
