Adrian's expression visibly darkened, making her take another step back. "I see."
"Yes," she cried, " you have to understand what kind of situation this is. You cannot just put anything inside me!"
"I can, Joyce." He calmly stated. " I can put something inside you if I want to."

He raised his hand, showing her his palm. "That is enough. I don't want to hear another no from you. As my wife—"
"I do not want to be your wife! I was never asked to be your wife!" Joyce screamed at the top of her voice, snapping at him. " All of a sudden, one day at random, you decided that I was going to be gone for a while. Did you ask me? No…"
