Jealousy Burns
Gently, she took my hand and whispered, "If you don't want to let go, I'll die for you. If you don't want the responsibility, I'll go to jail in your place."
No sooner had she said those words than she yanked the rosary bead bracelet off my wrist, snapping it apart.
She used the moment to pull me into a hug, her sharp nails digging deep into my burned back.
"But please, don't make Milton mad. I can't bear to see him upset," she whispered.
I didn't even have time to cry out. Instinctively, I shoved her away. A glass cup on the nightstand tipped and crashed to the floor.
The shards pierced through the sole of my foot, and a fresh jolt of pain shot through my hand as I caught myself.
