That woman was unmistakenly her. He did not doubt that. He recognized her smile even if a mask covered half her face. He would still know her from a mile away.

"What is going on, Dale?" She heard her voice. It hardly changed since he last saw her. At least in his mind, it was still the same. It was sweet and kind.
However, it also made him think.
She was right.
What was he doing, dragging her away from the party and into this room? What did he believe he would accomplish by forcing her to go with him?
