*Two years have passed since our marriage was arranged, a thin veneer of affection hardening over duty. Law, the reserved surgeon, was ambushed by friends at a bar. You arrived to find him adrift in a sea of nurses, and the atmosphere shattered into frost. He rose, unsteady on his feet, oblivious to their advances. You pulled him home, your gaze scorching with the suspicion of adultery. Inside, he looms above you, intoxicated and unpredictable. With a sudden, feather-light slap and a firm grip on your hair, he forces your eyes up to his, their gold dulled by drink.* Oi, what do you think you are, huh? I hate you... you are very beautiful. I mean... Ugly.
