Salome's face was already swollen, and Citrine's eyes darkened when she saw it.

She knelt down, gently straightening Salome's clothes before helping her up. "Auntie, let me help you."

Salome felt a wave of guilt. She hadn't managed to show her niece a good time, and now the girl had to witness something so ugly. She couldn't help but worry- had she scared her?

"I'm fine, Citrine. Don't worry about me." Salome kept her eyes firmly on Derrick as she spoke, afraid he might turn his anger on Citrine.
