I paced the living room, feeling the urge to lash out at her, to knock her to the ground and make her understand the gravity of her actions. But I restrained myself, barely.

You always seem to know exactly when to strike, exactly when to cause the most damage. You're like a viper, striking without warning, without mercy." I took a step closer to her, my fists clenched at my sides. "Y
