He frowned under her intense gaze. Just when she thought he was going to admit whatever it was that he was hiding, he shrugged indifferently. "Go ahead."

"Go to bed." He instructed. Before she could protest, he looked at her sternly. "Just do as I say."

She crossed her arms. "You don't get to tell me what to do or not do. I will leave when I want to but not before…"

She stopped speaking when he suddenly stood, glaring down at her. Before she could process his sudden anger, he grabbed her by her elbow and shoved her out of the room." You will not get a word out of my mouth by pressing it. Now go along."
