Cassia stepped out of the cab after leaving Martinez's home, and her eyes scanned the quiet street in front of her apartment. The setting sun colored the pavement in a warm glow, but her thoughts were too clouded to notice the beauty. She closed the door behind her and stood still for a second, the

Cassia looked at Henry like he was a stranger. What he’d just said made her so angry that everything around her seemed to fade. Without thinking, her hand moved on its own and then....Smack... The slap rang through the almost-empty parking lot. Henry’s head turned from the hit, a red mark forming
