Paul and Geraldene's mouths formed 'O's'. They looked at one another, covered their lips, then started looking from Sylas to Cassarae and then back again as though they were watching a reality TV show rather than their daughter's love life.
Cassarae didn't know how to react. Her brain seemed to lag for a full five seconds before her skull practically exploded with steam.
"SYLAS BROWN! What the fuck did you just say to me?!"
One would have thought that Sylas had directly insulted her in the most vile of ways. But to a woman like Cassarae, there probably wasn't much of a difference. If it wasn't for her last bit of sanity reminding her that the strength they had in their hands in this day and age could truly kill people if they weren't careful, she would have already lunged at Sylas' throat in an attempt to take a bite out of it.
