The girl still had a smile on her face.

Her words trailed off when she noticed Ricky’s frozen expression.
Following his gaze, she turned to look in my direction.
This was my first time seeing Sharna Allison.
She was sweet and beautiful, with a pair of clear, water–like eyes that seemed to wash away all the world’s impurities.

She already knew who I was.
She just wanted to humiliate me.
Ricky quickly shielded her behind him, as if afraid I might lash out at her.
“How did
you
find this place?” he asked.
I hadn’t planned on doing anything to her.
“I need to talk to you,” I said.
Ricky said it was cold outside and, not wanting Sharna to catch a chill, told me to come
inside.
But there was no need for such a fuss.

I only had one thing to say, and once it was said, I’d leave.
Yet his concern for Sharna was so evident that, before I could even open my mouth, he had already scooped her up into his arms and carried her inside.
