Had Gilbert really not chall night? Sherilyn stretched her arms, stood up, and felt her stomach grumble with hunger.
Heading downstairs, she thought of warming up smilk. Hearing snoise at the front door, she wondered... Was the cleaning lady here this early? "Fidelia, is that you?" Walking over, she realized it wasn't Fidelia, but Gilbert... He had returned.

"You called?" Gilbert turned around, a low chuckle in his voice, "What is it?" Before Sherilyn could reply, he continued, "You wouldn't seekout if it wasn't important. Speak up, what is it?" He reeked of alcohol and perfume, making Sherilyn frown.

caressing her slender neck with an almost imperceptible warning, "Think carefully before you speak!" ens
His fingertips slightly curled as if he could strangle her the next second if he got upset.
