Josephine sat on the bed, her hands tied behind her back.

After the nth time of turning to look at the wall, Josephine could not help but tease him. "This is already the 99th time you've looked at the clock, Zayne. Do you want to hug it? Maybe even live the rest of your life with the clock?" 1

Zayne felt his mind crack under the weight of Josephine's angry words.
