The Love Heist

Luis looked as confused as ever. He didn't understand why she had just jumped away from and why she was glaring at him.

"What's the problem?" Luis asked.

Vivienne gave him no reply. She turned on her feet and bounded down the steps. Luis followed after her, making sure not to trip and fall. Once Vivienne got to the large sitting room, she walked towards the couch where her bag was and snatched her purse from the chair.

Luis gave her a look of bewilderment. "Of course, I do! What are you talking about?"
