He gritted his teeth, and his eyes burned with bitterness as the image of Sylvania hugging that stranger replayed in his mind. He muttered under his breath, shaking his head. “Who the hell is he?” He felt his heart beating louder, and he took a slow breath trying to calm himself.Several thoughts rushed through him…as he thought of walking to the apartment, knocking at her door and ask her directly who the hell the man was.
