The Woman From Hell

Theo immediately let go of my hand with a guilty look.

Smiling slightly, I lowered my hand.

Nicky rushed downstairs angrily. It was as if her feet were about to be driven through the floor. She inserted herself between us, and with her head lowered, she glanced at my hand before pointing at it and saying, "Wanda, I caught you just now. You were definitely holding Theo's hand. You're so shameless!"

She was so vicious that it felt like she was going to swallow me up. She was gnashing her teeth, and her expression was hideous.

Theo explained on my behalf even before I could speak, "It's not her; it's me."

Hearing this, Nicky turned her head and frowned. With disbelief in her tone, she asked, "Theo, what are you talking about?"

Theo looked at me and nodded at her. "I just thought it felt strange, so I talked to her for a bit."

"Talk? Do you talk with your hand?" Nicky grabbed his hand, looking completely unwilling. "I'm the only one who can hold your hand. How can you let it be defiled by others?!" Defiled...

Such a serious word to use.
