"Don't call me. I'm going down for dinner. If you want to kneel, be my guest."

Elysia strode toward the door, and Tarquin scrambled after her.

He grabbed her arm, but she shook him off.

He tried to kiss her, but Elysia turned her head away. "Tarquin, do you want a black eye that badly?!"

"Babe, I know I messed up. You can smack me if you want, but please don't say we're over-"

Before Tarquin could finish, a tiny voice piped up from the hallway:

Elysia froze. "!"

Tarquin froze. "!"
