had she been crying in relief that she 'd started her period ? i ask as she stares at that simple dirt path leading into the village . his voice was deep , rough , and hearing it that close scared maria so badly her bladder let loose . i do n't care what you call it , but please touch us . i wanted to tell her she had to straighten up her act , i wanted to tell her off and tell her that our leader was incapacitated because of her , and because of her my brother was nearly killed .
