She popped it open forcefully, not realizing it was aimed at her face, and so the cork was shot at her eye. “Son of a bitch!” she cursed out, the pain resonating in her eye, dropping the bottle which broke on impact with the floor.She searched frantically through the refrigerator for a pack of peas or corn, anything cold enough.She found a meat pack, and placed it anyway, sulking at the pain she was currently in.
