An unexpected prisoner

- How long have you been showing this notorious female solidarity of yours? - he asked sarcastically, pulling away from her.

- I just understand her as a girl.

- Well, of course. Is it because Dexter is ignoring you? – the corners of his lips curled, slightly exposing the tips of his teeth.

- Shut up. – she hissed, frowning her elegant eyebrows so that a deep wrinkle lay between them.

- This is the second time when I give myself a slack and get attached to a person, and they slips away from me. – he replied.

Amanda noticed that his darkness had now completely dissipated, leaving his body defenseless, like a little boy who had lost his favorite toy.

- Artemis didn't escape you. She would never have left you if... - she paused, afraid to say the next words out loud.

- If Lillian hadn't killed her... Yes she wouldn't have done it. But that doesn't change the fact that she's not with me now.
