Sylvia picked up the paring knife from the fruit bowl on the coffee table in the living

room.

She had a feeling Rupert would come.

And he did. But he was quick to stop her knife.

With seemingly little effort, he caught the blade, rendering Sylvia's attempts to push it forward completely useless.

Her eyes were red and filled with hatred, but her face was a mask of despair, her lips bitten hard enough to leave deep imprints, a hint of crimson seeping through. Rupert's gaze was inscrutable as he watched her.

Sylvia froze in shock.

Rupert merely remarked, "What now?"

"You're insane! Absolutely insane!"

Sylvia dropped the knife and turned to leave.
