Xavier heard footsteps and looked toward the door. Yvette didn't call out to him but walked right up to him instead. "Did you injure Claude?"

Xavier's breath caught in his throat.

"Don't lie," Yvette pressed.

Xavier felt a pang of guilt and responded in a muffled voice, "Yes."

"Are you serious? You hit him?" Yvette couldn't believe it.

Despite being visually impaired, he had managed to beat Claude-and severely at that. Yvette was furious beyond words, and she lashed out at Xavier, striking him hard on the shoulder.

What was so special about that man? So what if he beat him up? Claude should count himself lucky Xavier hadn't buried him outright.

Despite what he was thinking, Xavier didn't dare say it out loud. "Yvvy, guys butt heads all the time, especially since we're rivals in love. A bit of a scrap is nothing to worry about."

"A scrap, you say? Ray said Claude is still not completely out of danger!" Yvette was enraged, and she threw another hard punch at him.
