The Woman From Hell

Theo's light gaze landed on me, but he did not say anything.

Sometimes, silence suffocated even more.

Especially those ethereal and emotionless eyes.

I reached out and pulled Shannon back. "Forget it, let's go."

I would not have made this appointment if I had known that this would happen. I felt even more uncomfortable now. I just wanted to escape here as soon as possible now.
