Ophelia took a deep breath and kept her head down, avoiding his eyes. Next time, she'd hop to the bathroom on one leg rather than let him carry her.

Heat rushed to her cheeks immediately. She thought, "That darn man, naturally, he returns to his shameless ways. Has the poison really spread to his brain? Can't it just clear out the bad stuff in there?"
