"Pack your bags," he said curtly, his voice devoid of any emotion. "We're leaving."
Nora had hoped for an apology, for some sign of regret in his eyes for the way he had treated her earlier in the evening. But instead, his words sent a shockwave through her.
Whenever they had shared a meal, silence had reigned but it had never felt this stifling. She could not fathom that this man would be so petty and hold something so silly against her. Before she could try to clear the matter again, he placed down his cutlery and left the table leaving her astounded.
Without a word she watched him walk away and stubbornly finished the rest of her meal. He was the one who had brought her here, with no regard for her opinion and now that he was angry, he wanted to leave. Well, she would not object but she would not also dance to his tune! She was going to enjoy this meal and then she would pack her bag.
