Taking up her purse, Lily marched out of DeCaste restaurant, leaving behind a horrifically stunned Asher, standing with the front ends of his shirt dripping red wine. Lily had done it again. For the second time since her first encounter with Asher, she drenched him in wine from her glass. Unlike the first, she was very intentional and unapologetic this time. She meant to pour her wine over him, not caring what the consequences were. For her, a world without Asher was a better place. If that meant getting kicked out of his art program or having to struggle for recognition in the art world, so be it.
