Across the expanse of the gallery, Sarah crossed her arms, a dismissive look on her face. "That? That was years ago, Mark. A misunderstanding."

Sarah laughed, a short, sharp sound that felt like a slap in the face. "You have such a vivid imagination." The insinuation of his instability only served to make the anger surge further.
