He wasn't alone.
Two licensed security officers accompanied him.
Brenda immediately protested.
"This is harassment!"
David calmly placed a folder on the dining table.
"Mrs. Brenda Collins, these documents officially revoke your guest privileges effective immediately."
Rachel scoffed.

David opened another folder.

He slid several printed photographs across the table.

Maya carrying groceries alone.

Cleaning.
Doing laundry.

David quietly continued.

Brenda's face turned pale.
"You've been spying on us?"

Maya nearly collapsing while carrying a basket of laundry upstairs.
