"And you have the cheek to cry? Apologize to Ms. Nightshade right now!" Leonard furrowed his brow, his patience wearing thin.

After all, he knew Orion's temper well; crossing his boundaries was a disaster.
Xanthea watched Queenie who had first hurled insults and then played the victim burst into tears, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Every year brought its share of oddities, but this year seemed particularly rife.
There were those who played innocent lambs to the public but were snakes behind the scenes, those who bullied others by flaunting their powerful backers, and now here was one who spoke madness and played the victim first. Seeing so many, she had inevitably accumulated sexperience.
Each type of oddity required a different approach.
For instance, engaging in a war of words with Queenle would only spoil her own mood, and physical confrontation was out of the question-especially not in Marlowe Manor. Even if she detested Orion, she wouldn't ruin his business. So, the best approach was.
