"Who did you give it to?"

"Oliver. I gave it to Oli, my mate."

"It was a gift of trust." Oliver stood up from the chair, his eyes twinkling with the glint of the ever-present humor. "I didn't even use it. I didn't do this, I didn't do anything. Tell them, Laura!" He ended with a smile.

Rage blazed in her eyes, seamlessly mixing with helplessness.

It was such a sight.

Beautiful.

"You did it."

His smile dwindled.

"I know you did it and that is why things haven't been the same between us."

"Things haven't been the same between us because I spent a night with Riza."

Gasps filled the court at the implied reference to cheating.

It was an act deserving of punishment.
