and checks. His voice sounds normal though, his deep glares eat her alive.
“I just had business outside, for one week. What’s wrong?” She lies and feels his finger squeezes her
chin tighter, like he is crumbling an egg.
“Wow, wow, such a good liar are you?! You full of shit! Stop fooling me around, you thought I didn't

“What do you want from me, Fabian?” She asks. She can’t hold her feeling anymore. She wants to split
all out, her disease and everything. “If I die, you will be happy right?”

“Say what? I didn't...” She argues back.
“Then check this out, with your own eyes!” He throws her a pile of pictures on the desk, she
