Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

It felt as though everything was progressing strangely. I suspected that Jasmine thought I was the culprit behind her attack.

Her eyes were bloodshot when she glared at me. When she sobbed, her entire body was trembling. Sweat was dripping out of her as though she were a sponge.
