The Unexpected Proposal
" Elizabeth, could you clarify this? Right now, you are the main suspect.
Elizabeth gets up, her hands at her sides curled into fists. Everyone's eyes are on her, and she feels the weight of their silent judgment, more potent than words. She opens her tongue to defend herself, to explain the truth, but the words choke her. How could she explain what she finds incomprehensible personally?
Karin's voice, sharp and silky, breaks through the suspense. Funny, not precisely what I mean. Your rapid ascent through the ranks is admirable. Nearly too fast. She moves forward, her eyes flickering with something dark, satisfaction or triumph. She is aware she is winning.
