Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

However, when they both looked-

There was no sign of Roseanne.

York shrugged, "If I hadn't said it, would you guys ever stop?"

Murray was silent. Corley didn't utter a word.

"Why can't we handle this like adults instead of acting like kids?"

Corley snapped, "He got mad and threw the first punch."

Murray retorted, "Because he was asking for it!"

"Enough, both of you cool it," York intervened, "If we actually bring Roseanne into this, neither of you is going to like the outcome."

Corley's lips pursed.

Murray fell silent, too.

Cliff, seeing an opportunity, chimed in, "Let's head to the ER and get those wounds looked at."

Murray coldly glanced at Corley, "No need," he said, "Same goes for you-give up on her while you can."

"Is that so?" Corley smirked lightly, "Guess we'll see about that. As for making it work, I'm still in the game, while you you've been out for a long time."

Murray's eyes reddened, and he was about to throw another punch, but Cliff quickly intervened.

Corley dropped a final taunt: "Pathetic rage."

Then he opened his car door and drove away.
