Her face betrayed her
Looking across the table
Troubled
Doubled
Disbelief
WTF
Is this shit now?
Great sense of timing
Idjit
Do you have any idea of what you’ve said?
Pathetic
A glass of water on the table
Quite nice, a beautiful wineglass
Good for a dramatic gesture
Go big or go home she remembers
A voice says
Inside
She does, and in slow motion
How she remembers it
Irrevocably
Lifts the glass
Bounces it in the palm of her hand
Once, and the water splashes
Twice, and she flings it across the table
Drenching
That smirk for once
Drowning
That ember of twisted desire
With relish
Choosing the path
Starting forward
