She wanted to laugh at her present circumstances, but dared not. She wanted to believe this was another prank, but she knew better than to delude herself with that notion, so she rose to her feet after the pain circulating her body had subsided.
She met his eyes, and something about them seemed to bore holes into her. It felt as though she had absolutely nothing to hide from him, and that was her greatest fear.
