Eliza couldn't stop the tears. They streamed down her face, hot and relentless, blurring her vision. Her hands trembled so violently she couldn't bring them to her face to wipe them away.

She felt a burning sensation in her chest, a physical ache that intensified with each word he uttered. She felt a frantic need to scream, to shatter the calm.
