Hendrix let out a cold laugh. "Just a slap? And you think that's not serious? What would qualify as serious to you? Beating you until you're paralyzed? This is our home. You expectto just let it slide when someone barges in and hits you?" With each word, his anger seemed to escalate. He pressed his lips into a tight line before he abruptly turned to leave.
Noelle quickly grabbed him. "What are you going to do?" "Let go." "Don't act impulsively. You're scaringlike this." Her words made Hendrix freeze mid-step. As if afraid he'd still leave, Noelle clung tightly to his waist and looked up at him.

After a pause, Noelle added, "Besides, I didn't take it lying down." "You hit her back?" "Well, no. But I argued with her. In the end, she left looking pretty disappointed and upset," Noelle replied, sounding almost proud of herself.
Hendrix twitched his lips. "That's it?" "Isn't that enough? Did you really wantto end up in a brawl with her?" "Yes, you should have smacked her right back," Hendrix said bluntly.

Her cautious vigilance made it The'd clear-she was afraid he'd storm off to beat someone up the second she let him out of her sight.
But she was wrong, because if Hendrix wanted revenge, he hadm plenty of ways to qfj mmake someone wish they were dead. And violence was the last resort. Still, he didn't argue and simply did as he was told. As he rinsed the parsley under the tap, Noelle fried an egg beside him.
"Can you really make heart-shaped eggs?" he asked.
"Yeah, though it's easier with a mold.

remembering something, she cut herself off and whipped around to stare at him "Wait. Heart-shaped eggs? How do you know about that?" . MS
