The mess

Inside the car...

As Theodore put her in the passenger seat, Bella murmured something incoherently.

"How could you do that to me? I'll teach you a lesson. Just wait and watch."

Theodore frowned, wondering if she was talking about him. "Bella!" he called out.

Bella fluttered her eyelashes, trying to steady her focus on the face hovering over hers. The face blurred and then cleared—then blurred and cleared. It kept going like that.

However, the recognition hit her.

"Theodore?" she asked, sounding surprised. "You!" The next minute, she grabbed his collar and pulled him down toward her. "How dare you lie to me?" 

Her groggy eyes locked with his. Theodore found her appearance sexy, and a feral desire sparked within him.
