Joshua was stunned.

Lilliana did too. Instinctively she reached out to touch his face, showing remorse.

Despite his strong character, he understood the meaning of pride for a man and regretted his impulsive action.

Lilliana, still angry, turned away, unwilling to speak.

“If you leave now, don't bother coming back!” she declared. Joshua left despite her warning.

When the door slammed shut, Lilliana bit her lip in frustration.

Furious, she threw a pillow at the door and shouted, "Joshua, go to hell!"

She burst into tears. When her tears had passed, she began to reflect on recent events and realized that things didn't add up.
