Jane Wasn't Shamming

The hall fell into darkness.

Jane missed her step when she walked off the stage.

Someone held her arm in the darkness.

"William! Thank you."

She knew it was William. She had claustrophobia. The darkness reminded her of the despair when she woke up and found that she was left in an abandoned factory by the kidnappers.

Jane clenched her fists and tried to be calm.

"How did you know it was me?"

William asked after a second of silence.

He heard the noise before the light went out. Maybe something was wrong with the cable. He knew Jane was going down the stairs before the light went out.

"Because you're my husband!"

Jane hugged William tightly and didn't let go through William pushed her.

She was really scared.

The mint-scented perfume William wore was rare. It was not the cologne that most men liked, but it was also refreshing.

"Let go of me."

William was no more calm being hugged so tightly. Blue veins stood out on his temples. He thought that he should not help her.
