Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Mila nodded faintly.

After a moment's hesitation, she took a deep breath of oxygen, but the pain lingered. Giving in, she closed her eyes and slipped into restless dreams.

A vague sense of dread crept in.

Somewhere in the dark, the faint clink of chains echoed, along with a girl's barely audible murmur.
