Olivia looked at his rather cold face and wondered if they were going to finish the wine themselves. Are we… drinking?”

He ignored her.

She was at a loss, unable to understand what she had done today to anger him. Just yesterday, everything had seemed fine between them, leaving her baffled and unable to pinpoint the cause.
