Anna Jadwin's eyes turned peacefully as she reached out to cradle his face, leaning in to gently kiss him.
Wayne Bailey's body stiffened, but the surge of rage within him subsided significantly.
Anna clung to his neck, burying her face in his shoulder, and as she closed her eyes, her chaotic emotions felt much more bearable.
Wayne clenched his teeth and glared at her fiercely for a long while, then pulled her into his arms and sat down on the sofa…
Anna sat on his lap, looking at his sharply different complexion, "Can't you just not get angry?"
"You fancy him, you're tired of playing with me, so now you want to kick me aside!"
"As long as you keep your hands to yourself and persuade with reason, I'm on your side," Anna gazed intensely at his face, coveting all that he was, wishing she were Felicia Sullivan, not Ms. Scarlett, "If you don't resort to violence, we'll be fine. You really need to learn to control your emotions and not be violent anymore."
