Under the harsh interrogation lights, Queenie’s smile took on an edge–still beautiful, but laced with something cold and cutting.

Her eyes gleamed with a sharp chill.

Jean felt an inexplicable coldness settle over her like a thin layer of frost. Instinctively, she straightened her back and sat upright, every nerve slowly tensing.

Queenie’s lips moved slowly, her voice airy and casual, but each word struck like a pebble skipping across glass.

Jean remained composed.
