Doris opened her eyes, and his strikingly handsome face was right in front of hers, hitting her with a visual shock.

She pressed herself against the back of the couch, trying to create some distance–but it was useless.

He stretched out a closed fist in front of her.

Then, he slowly opened it, revealing a small, shining object that reflected the cold gleam of metal.
