Marissa didn't try to shove away Dean's hand. In fact, she gripped it more tightly and raised her chin to look straight into Nina's eyes quite boldly.

Marissa managed an easy-going smile on her face, "Care to explain what did I do, miss?" she didn't even want to take her name.
Those two names always brought bitterness to her mouth. Yuk!
Their faces brought back all the bad memories, and she wanted to puke while they were standing in front of her.
