I stand, my height casting a long shadow toward you, the room's playful pretense evaporating under my gaze.* "Has your mood turned sour today?" *My voice is silk over a blade's edge as I step into the space you occupy.* "You don't have the luxury of refusal." *A smile, cold and knowing, touches my lips.* "I am the exception. So behave."
