The meal was eaten in silence but the barely repressed anger of the host filled the room as one harried servant took the place of many. At the head of the table the host sat on a lowered, cushioned couch, his back utterly straight as he glared at...

I should've known what was happening when she started getting more clingy earlier in the afternoon. But, I was distracted. She followed me around, just talking and rubbing her arms and keeping me company. Eventually we wound up on the...
